Might be too heavy for that application. How strong are you?

Also, if you're up on Mount Marcy, pay attention to the environmental
specifications. Too high an altitude may inhibit cooling of power
components.

Out of the high-peaks region, there's Chimney, where the year-round snow
caves might prove troublesome if snow should get into components and
melt.

I recommend gel cells rather than lead acid, assuming you can afford the
weight budget. Note that internal combustion engines aren't welcome on
many trails in the Adarondacks, so check with the park rangers before
schlepping in from the highway with a portable generator.
