robbo the honda range of genies are the only ones to by but all genies will need to run for at least 6 hrs to charge a battery.have a look at the christie engineering battery charger it is a 50cc honda 4 stroke motor with a bosch alternater[55amp]
its smaller & cheaper than a genie & charging at 55amps an hr it only needs to run for around 1 hr to do same job so if you have good batterys & all your camping acc run off 12 volt why by a 240 volt genie yhat you will have to listen all night to run your lights & all day to run your fridge only charge the batterys when they are flat & dont spoil the serenity .
Thats What I Do Any Way & It Works Fine
