It does generate electricity...(Laughing)

Imo , if your boondocking with no hookups the Honda 2000i or a cheaper version like the Wen 2000watt Invertor generator , a Bulk/absorption battery charger and a single
100ah lifepo4 is the way to go , no need for solar because the battery can be charged really fast , the lifepo4 battery is cheaper then lead acids in the long run and better by far in every way , there easier to use , they charge super fast, you don't have to put them on a float charger .

You can bulk/absorption charge them all the way to 100% soc, but you don't even have to take them to 100% soc if you don't want to , it wont hurt them .
i charge mine with a cheap Meanwell power supply that a guy online showed me how to build into a battery charger for dirt cheap ,

the lifepo4 really made my life easier because the built in battery management (BMS) system does everything for me.
It protects the battery from getting damaged.
Lifepo 4 battery supposed to give me 3000 cycles , my lead acid golf batteries would probably give me about 700 cycles , so with all the batteries that i would have to buy , lifepo4 is cheaper if using them for boondocking
If you have access to shore power then the lead acids are cheaper because they'll last longer with proper charging.

Plus the lead acids had to be outside to be vented and the cold weather cut there performance close to in half.

I use about 50ah per day
I can charge and put 50ah back into a 100ah lifepo4 in say like a hour and 15 minutes charging at absorption all the way to 100% , once i got to 80% my lead acids would take a long time to get the last 20% .
I would never go back to lead acids
