I NEED MORE POWER!!!!!!!

Alright guys I need Suggestions:


I am going Camping for a week. I need power to recharge my Kayak stuff.

How do you do it?


I was thinking maybe Goal Zero yeti 400 with the 30 watt Solar Panel. ( but that is not going to be nearly enough to charge up all my stuff. )

I have two 12v 10amp batteries that require a full charge, and I also need to recharge my 6v bait tank, and I need to recharge my go pro batteries and my Radio?


Another guy suggested to buy a Kyocera 140watt Solar panel and leave it in top of the car to charge everything.


Then I was thinking to buy a huge marine 12v 60amp battery, and buy a inverter to plug in my junk.

I Do not want to charge it from my car battery.

Run a cable from the RV generator in the campsite next to you? Throw him a 20?

Other than solar or a big battery and inverter, the only other option I can offer is a thermo electric generator. Type that and camping into Google and you should have some options. I've used industrial ones for work.

You need a deep cycle battery and a hobby grade charger capable of lead acid. No inverters and a selectable charge rate.

@ Jorge, I am starting to think you rob banks with all the money you have and all the time you can take off.



@ Greg, I will give in. I will invest in one.

I'm fortunate enough to work for a company that will gives its employee's 3weeks of vacation time every year starting from your first year.

That is nothing Jorge, my company will let you take the rest of your life off if you take 5 days in a row. Or at least make you reapply .

I use this Honda EU100i generator to recharge my 22NF 12 v. batteries (for my BassYaks motor) when I'm camping or whatever. The power is so clean you can run a laptop computer off it. Yeah, it's on the expensive side... but it runs so quiet you won't bother anyone with it... it's that quiet. Just a thought...

I got almost 6 weeks PTO from my last company and finding time to go fishing was still tough... Dam kids.
