What is the difference between the Briggs & Stratton P4500 and the P4500i?

The P4500 and P4500i refer to the same PowerSmart Series inverter generator — "i" is sometimes used in older marketing or parts references to denote the inverter model. The unit sold in Australia is a single product with electric, recoil, and wireless remote start options.

Does the Briggs & Stratton P4500 come with a battery for electric start?

The P4500 includes electric start functionality. The battery or starting system is integrated — refer to the user manual for battery maintenance and charging instructions. Recoil start is always available as a backup if needed.

What can I run on the Briggs & Stratton P4500 inverter generator?

With 3,700W continuous output and 4,500W peak you can comfortably run a fridge, air conditioner (smaller units), power tools, air compressor, lighting, and multiple device chargers at the same time. It handles a serious job site or a well-equipped campsite without breaking a sweat.

Is the Briggs & Stratton P4500 generator good for caravanning?

Yes. The clean inverter output is safe for sensitive caravan electronics, and the 16-hour runtime means you won't be refuelling every few hours. The wireless remote start is particularly handy — you can run it outside and start or stop it from inside the van.

How does the Briggs & Stratton P4500 compare to the P3500?

The P4500 adds 800W more running power, nearly three times the fuel capacity (13.2L vs 5.7L), electric and remote start, and double the runtime. It's heavier at 47kg vs 38.6kg, and priced higher, but for anyone who needs all-day power without stopping to refuel, the P4500 is the better choice.
