Questions and answers
my WEN 56477i has electric start and the battery is dead. I removed the battery and tried to charge it but it didn't work. Please help
If the battery is dead on a WEN 56477i with electric start, use the recoil start to charge the battery. If the battery is too cold, store the generator in a warmer location.

I don't want to upset you so I'll watch what I say. REALLY I never would have thought of that (that's how I've been starting it for the last couple of times) I've used it. I thought I had pulled the battery out months ago and when I took it to Batteries Plus, they don't have it. Maybe I pulled the wrong thing out and all of my research doesn't show where the battery is.
