Can a power station be charged for the required 36 hrs. using a gas generator
I have just purchased a Master Craft 1000 amp/500 running watts power station, and it has a 36 hour initial charge time.
My question is: is it possible to charge it the 36 hours using a Sportsman 1000 Watt/800 running watts Inverter gas generator?
The generator can run maybe 8 hours then I would let it cool for about an hour, then start the charging again. Is this possible or does it definitely need 36 hours of continuous charging, no interuptions?

Almost any device can pause during the charging cycle.
Why are you charging for 8 hours then stopping? Do the instructions for the master Craft tell you to do that? Almost anything is going to be up to full temperature in the first hour so I don't know what benefit cooling after 8 hours would offer.

That 36 hour charge may be for just the first time that pack is charged.
I couldn't find any helpful online info for that unit.
