    How many amps does the charger pull? Should be listed on it.

    Maybe provide details about the charger you have? Otherwise you'll want a 5000w inverter generator.

    45A DC output is about 650W. Allow 15% inefficiency of the charger means you need about 750W running watts from the generator.
    If you have integrity, nothing else matters. If you don't have integrity,
    nothing else matters.​
