Default new 12v needed

Hi guys,
Can anyone recommend a 12v suitable for a 2 day meeting? Presumably I should be looking at a Leisure/Caravan size one but I’m still not sure on the capacity
I will be charging 5400 lipos about 6 times a day, with no way of charging the 12v overnight.
I used to have a car size 12v but found that Sunday afternoon it was taking ages to charges the lipo, if at all. The lipo charger then says insufficient voltage!

Cheers
Tel

thanks for the reply matty


Mark, please don't play on words you knew I meant 12v battery. if i wanted a generator I would have asked for one, in the same way you would have asked for a 6 fingered glove!

Yep, I have 3 x 85Ah leisure batteries in my van, and don't need charge them at all over a 3 day racing weekend. Charging, lighting, bits and bobs all fine and dandy.

I've hardly used my generator as a result, it's almost pointless, especially as in an emergency one can just borrow a bit o power.

So a 120Ah for just charging will be plenty.
