Can MEP 002, 003 or 803 Gens run without batteries

[JOHNPFD1]

I recently saw a video where a guy jump starts his MEP 803 with a 24 volt jump pack, he has 2 remote starter terminals installed under the slave plug. He says starting this way saves on wasting money on batteries. My question is does anyone know if it is safe to run the MEP 803 or 002, 003's without batteries? I wonder if it would hurt the voltage regulator or other electronic parts.

002a and 003a don't need to be jumped started with out batteries because it will hurt the DC voltage regulators. 802a and 803a should be fine.

will running the 802a or 803a be ok running with no batteries at all installed?

Howdy,
The manual says YES

That is how they start and run all the auction gensets. MEP-802A and MEP-803A.
