Sean,
The capacity of the battery won't bother the generator, the more Amp-Hrs the
better.
A big battery may be more than willing to burn up the starter if you crank too
long though.
Some people just keep cranking till the battery runs down when their car won't
start.
The owners manual usually specifies a maximum cranking time.
