Yes, that's a 12 volt battery. Obviously not a tractor. The generator was due for a walk and yesterday I figured it was as good a day as any to do that. I turned the key and listened to silence. I don't think we're going to gut much of that storm that's fixin to hammer areas south of here but I'm glad I found out under better conditions.

How old is the battery vs its expected life?

It's just over a year old. Usually the life of these are similar to what we use in our tractors.

I had a couple other options to start it so it wouldn't have been a disaster.:)

I know my better maintainers have a AGM setting. 

That might help?
