Toy Taco...if all you want to do is charge the batteries and run a couple of lights, you might look for a used little gennie on Craigs list. I've got a Kawasaki, about 20 years old...550 watt is all 4 stroke. It'll spin a blender, charge the batteries and run some lights. Really small, doesn't take up much space and can be handled with one arm. It's really quiet, mostly because of the size. I take it, but don't use it often. It did come in handy to charge the batteries on my friends wifes wheel chair. They are handy to have whether you are camping or not. Won't run much stuff in the house if the power goes out, other than the TV....but I'm full up on coleman lanterns for light anyway. You might pick up a used one and try it out...don't like it...put it back on Craigs list. Doug
