Battery bank vs Generator bank
Which of the two is better? I have good batteries, but I also have a lot of engines and a lot of gasoline.
I have never used electricity, so I am something new in this, sorry if the doubt is silly xD.

Well, battery banks are power storage. Generator banks can RESTORE power/condition to the batteries within the battery bank, OR, you can just run your stuff directly off the generator.

I use both because I get tired of hearing the generators all the time so give my ears a break when I want. Also, if I am going to be away for a couple of game days and the generator could run out of fuel, I have the batter banks hooked up to take up the slack.

The two work together! Generator banks and Solar panels have the ability to actually run your machinery and also to restore the batteries in a battery bank. All 3 can run your stuff! It's just that 2 of them have the ability to put power back into the 3rd.

Pretty sure what quality the battery is matters, so what quality level your batteries are might be good to know, to fully have a good comparison, unless I am wrong.

Two level 6 batteries, two level 5 batteries and two other level 4 batteries.
The level 4 I will upgrade to level 5 (I can create level 5 batteries, but I still lack materials).

Then I guess it matters what all you are trying to power with that bank.

The good Khissi explained it much better, for comparison also.

I still prefer the gas generator, but it still doesn't attract the zombies for making so much noise.
