If the generator has not been run/used regularly, there’s a possibility that it’ll be hard to start. Before contacting Promate Service for help, try this:
1. Check the oil level.
2. Check the fuel level and add if needed. Make sure the fuel has not been contaminated or did not go stale.
3. Change or check your spark plugs.
4. Make sure that the generator’s fuel valve is open.
For gasoline generators, use SAE-30 or multigrade 5W-30W.
For diesel generators use SAE-40.
For diesel engine generators, use diesel. For gasoline generators, use unleaded gasoline. USING THE WRONG FUEL WILL DAMAGE YOUR GENERATOR.
No. Start the generator before applying your load. Then plug the appliances one by one starting with the largest load to the smallest. Before shutting off the generator, remove the load starting with the smallest to biggest.
Run your gasoline generator at least once a month with 30% load for about 15 minutes.
Run your diesel generator at least every week with 30% load for 15 minutes.
Store your Promate products in a cool, clean and dry place that is well ventilated away from flames or sparks.

Then charge your powerstation as usual via wall socket.
Depending on the laptop specs, battery size & battery level and usage/application, and assuming the laptop starts off in a low-batt state, the Powerstation will last:
You run the risk of damaging the inverter or motherboard (which are expensive to replace).
