What size generator would i need to power a Lipo charger, netbook and small fridge (for beers :thumbsup:).

How do you work out what power output you need?

Any suggestions on type would be helpful to, bearing in mind i would like it to be as small and portable as possible.

no more than 600-700 watts would do it easly, we ran are caravan and all are charing gear on a little 650 watt 2 stroke,and managed for over a year with it.

Check out your Local Aldi Shop if you have one near £ 49.00
Bought one 2 years ago and runs all day on a gallon of juice.

I concur, however if you can afford more the 4 stroke suitcase style ones are quieter, normally smoother and more reliable. The 2 stroke ones either last a couple of months or seemingly forever, quite variable.

Vermin bought a Kipor 2 years ago and it's blinking amazing, normally run his tent (6 people) Shane's tent (2 people) and Chris L tent (2 people) with all racing gear plus a tele or 2, lights etc!

I was looking at a Kipor on ebay before.
You can even get a little rain coat for it.......how sweet :lol:
Is Vermin's an IG1000 or IG2000, cheapest i've seen them for so far is £220 for the IG1000 and £290 for the IG2000.
