Page 9: Description Of Systems
Note: The UL260/UL350 engine comes standard with an integrated AC generator with external rectifier/regulator that can supply up to 30 Amps. The UL390/UL520 generator can supply up to 50 Amps. This should be sufficient to charge the battery while the standard engine is operating and other electrical aircraft systems are in use. -
