I want to build a small battery bank in the workshop that will power the fridge/freezer for a few days enough to keep them cold and the food in them good. I can also use this to power my work computers so I can work if needed.
I'll charge the batteries with a charge controller plugged into the wall that will keep the batteries topped off all the time. In case the power goes out and I need to charge the batteries, I'll charge them from the truck engine. It's a generator after all.
I'll be using notes/instructions created by Steven Harris. He's an alternate energy engineer and I really respect him and his knowledge.
I also want to have an inverter that can cool the fridge/freezer when needed.

I built one last summer to protect the freezer full of last year's hog and cow. Welded a cart and put casters on it so it is mobile (350lbs). Mounted an inverter on top so my wife can plug the freezer in without needing to start a generator. 6kWh capacity.
Last fall built a dc generator to charge it, and this spring made a gasifier so I can run it on wood chips.

In the fall I made a DC generator
Thanks for the link Mike.
Product demo, running a generator on woodgas Saturday in Deer Park, WA at Bug'n Out Prepper Paradise.
