HV battery charging
 
So I recently got a charger set up for the Ford escape hybrid battery pack, but was wondering what if you leave the car parked outside away from a house outlet or you do t have multiple extension cords? Is there a way to charge the car using a gas power generator? These things are heavy to push and with a bad back I would rather have options to charge the car if it decides it wants to be stubborn.
I have two escapes but only use one daily and sometimes don't have time to turn the other one on to prevent battery from discharge.

That thing is filthy. It needs to be blown out head to toe. Install or replace your battery air filter.

You should be cooling the battery.

If you're asking if you could use a 120VAC gas generator to power the LED power supply, probably. As long as the power is clean enough for the power supply to use, and they should be pretty tolerant of mediocre power.

Additionally, if you had a "solar generator" like a Jack(off)ery that could supply at least 500W of 120VAC output, that should work too.
