Charging with TV alternator... Mod with pics...

Finally finished my charging cable mod from TV alt/battery direct to camper batterys for dry camping... I did a small charge today and checked voltages only. My clamp on amp meter was not working.....

Looks like it will work great for what you need. :)
Carry a spare circuit breaker as those thermal units could get weak if it starts to trip when running over the rating.
Maybe go with a battery terminal fuse like this one for 80 amps just to protect a dead short.
