I'm too busy to do it but you'd think someone would have designed a generator or battery charger powered by the Hobie pedal system...

If money is no object ( forgive me for thread jacking and going off topic ) . I found this battery, possibly the lightest battery in world . Manufacturer is claiming it can handle a thousand discharges unlike non deep cycle batteries . This battery weighs 2.2 lbs almost 1/2 the weight of my other Lifepo battery coming in at 4.2 . They have other batteries as well , which will go up in weight and price accordingly . I purchased it from batterymart.com .

This battery

Is about the same weight of a Lifepo battery I'm using for my bait tank . It is a 6vt 12 amp coming in at just over 2 lbs. it will run a tsunami 500 all day , maybe all night too. Pm if more info is wanted . Sorry for busting up thread . Blame Sammy . .

He has every other possible feature for PA. Probably even has a motor and down riggers for trolling . Maybe that's why I have not seen him . . He's leaving me in his wake .
