Re: Battery Charging Station

I think it might be wise to bring a marine-cycle battery and a powerful inverter. Teams bringing all sorts of generators seems very inefficient and loud. Since teams aren't using power continuously, generators may be overkill without a battery to store and shut down the generator automatically! Also, a battery and inverter would probably cost less than a generator. Generators are for when you need LOTS of power, typically kilowatts. For every KG of gasoline, you can get a max of 5kw/kilo, which is the reason why most generators are rated for at least 750 watts continuous!
