It wont charge leisure batteries I'm afraid, you'd need a proper car/leisure battery charger for this. The Orion Charger I have (and most other chargers these days) have a PB setting which charges lead acid batteries like the one I have. Only takes a couple of hours after a full days racing to charge it back upto full again. charging 6/7 race packs and a bit of soldering will take around 8amps out of my 20amp lead acid battery.
I agree with the whole generator thing. A good idea for a weekends racing, for a standard regional day meeting/club meeting they aren't really needed as there are plenty of other solutions, and the noise is frustrating! Wherever you choose to pit, someone will always reel their extension cord metres away from their pit table, but next to yours.
