[QUOTE="OldDogNewTrick, post: 506761, member: 3148"] For general charging of gear don't use a generator. Genny negatives -only charges while it runs - does not store electricity -have to carry fuel -noise/fumes -some sites wont allow them Genny positives -good for high current draw gear such as power tools -doesn't need sun -delivers 240 V so can plug in devices via mains cords Batt Box/Solar negatives -needs some sunlight -needs 12 volt to mains240 v inverter OR DC to DC charger for your device voltage (not a big deal to buy these units) Batt Box/solar positives -stores power so can charge at night etc/on the move/in vehicle -quiet no fumes no need fuel -can charge from vehicle -capable of short term high current delivery (+12 volt can feed 240 volt inverter if mains voltage needed) -can double as car starter if main battery cactus [/QUOTE]
