Can the battery pack be recharged using a generator if there is no AC outlet or car available?

yes, i use my honda generator to charge the battery every other day at the cabin, works good

Yes, just plug it into the generator. Alternately, plug the cpap into the generator. Personally, I'm not thrilled with this battery pack and for car camping am considering a Goal Zero Yeti 400, perhaps combined with a Renology flexible solar panel.

U need to go hardware store get a plug for it then you could plug in to any of your generator like portable you can carry on your electric car OR you can used it for replacement for your broken portable charger if you decided to use it with generator make sure your generator is not more than 3000watt and not less than 2200watt or you gonna need to have charger regulator also u can not let your generator run unattended if you don't have your charger regulator you may get a generator timer which will stop your generator automatically as you set the time for it.

You would use the battery power if there were no electrical outlets such as in the backyard. It comes with a charger so you just plug it in the outlet.

The unit is not equipped with an on board battery, it can't be "recharged". You just plug it into a house outlet or an automobile port for use.

I own a couple of these and the only way to power them on location is via extension cord or a generator. Harbor Freight sales some inexpensive generators. They are not ac/dc, if they are there is nothing on their website stating what battery to use. Hope that helps.

This is NOT a generator, but rather a storage battery pack that is recharged by either regular utility power or generator power or solar. I leave it plugged in and use the 40 watt solar panel to supplement on sunny days. My refrigerator, a TV, and my pellet stove are always plugged into it. Last summer I also ran a 10,000BTU air conditioner, and in power outages I have run a dishwasher, a microwave oven, and coffee maker.

no you can use batteries or buy the power pack. We have two power packs and they last about 5 days.

Require power source of 12v DC. Could run on a 12v rechargeable battery pack not sure how long depends on battery pack.

A transformer can be used if there is enough amperage.We tried ours using jumper cables from pickup battery but would only work when vehicle was running.So we bought a deep cycle battery that runs it all day with no problem.We recharge it at 2 Amps.

Yes you can! Just start it and run your extension cords to what ever you need! what I did was incorporate it into my household electric breaker box. So when the power goes off for any amount of time...I can just plug the generator into the house....don't have to use any extension cords throughout the house. Make sense? No door cracked open for cords etc.

If in a remote area with no power available, then a solar panel and 12v battery can be used for power. Available here from Amazon.

This is not a battery, so does need a 12v power source to convert DC power to AC. You could use a 12v lead acid cell to make it portable I guess but then it would be quite heavy and a messy solution. Why not just get a jump starter emergency power source which is all in one neat package. With battery and inverter to AC all in one neat package. How long it lasts will depend on what you are plugging into it. No hair dryers LOL.

Does the generator have a plug in on it? Cause if u have a 110 or 220 outlet this will work no matter what... as long as u can plug it in. And it will charge about any battery. I have charged car batteries and I charge an array of deep cycle batteries with it. 155ah and 90ah

You can do this but it will take a long time to fully charge. With only one generator, you will get about 0.1 amp into your 12V battery.

If you mean appliances, as in washer/dryer/refrigerator, then there isn't any battery backup device which will meet your needs. You probably need a generator instead.

You would have to plug it into a back up battery or cord connected to a generator as you would with any other type of electrical plug device.

Never tried it, but I am almost certain that you can. Looking at the schematic for the generator, there is a separate winding on the generator for the DC, so I think it operates independently of the AC power output.
