Generator and a battery question

Question:

I have a new petrol generator that I plan to run my new observatory with but the fuel tank will not last a whole night, so in order to avoid having to shut everything down while I refuel...can anyone set me straight on the following - can the 12v charge leads from the petrol generators 12V output socket be connected to say a 100amphr deep cycle battery for example, which is connected to a 12V-240V inverter which then powers my lappie, scope and cameras etc and can the Generator be used to top up the battery during imaging?

Mike
