2nd the use of a Harbor Freight 800W generator, Used one all weekend at a contest and it did just fine. No issues with my power supply or charger. In my opinion after using that and a deep cycle battery I would choose the generator every time. They were on sale for 89. recently too.

I've got one of those that I carry with me to boat races (yeah, I'm one of those guys) and have used it at home during the many power outages that I have here. It's enough to power up my fidge without breaking into a sweat but also when I'm mobile I keep a deep-cycle battery and 2 power inverters in the trailer.
His main problem seems ot be that he lives in California which doesn't like most of anything 2-stroke powered. It seems like Harbor Freight does have one though that is 50-state legal. It's the best $90.00 that I've spent when you can catch them on sale for that price. Easy starting and fairly quiet. Under normal load a tank of gas will last over 4 hours.
