LOL! The last time I saw a 6volt battery start generator, you could
also start it with the pull rope, in the event the starter and/or
battery was dead. 

You couldn't run a microwave off of it. Worked great for a few drop
lights though and your chargers. Nothing you'd spend the money on
for an automatic switch, that's for damn sure. 

The generators I've installed aren't portable. They tend to be
diesel or propane and start from a car battery, or in some cases, a
bank of them. If you tried to start one on a 3volt 4amp battery,
you'd just toast the battery and might hear a relay try to
open/close. [g] Assuming the control panel would allow the system to
try and start. Some panels tend to ignore start requests when
battery power isn't between 10-12 volts or so. Instead of startup,
you get an alarm. "Beep beep beep, battery is too low! beep beep
beep"
