Does anyone have any advises on charging a separated automobile battery inside the car ? I've been looking for battery charger on Amazon . Almost all of the chargers use 110 volt AC to charge the battery . That means I have to charge the battery inside the house (or get an DC>AC inverter in order to charge it inside the van). How do you charge your battery ? What kind of charger ? I would like to install the battery permanently inside the van and have the battery charged while driving to the campground.
thanks
Here's an easy project that might fit your needs:
12V to 12V charger
I use something simpler, I have quick-disconnects on all my portable power supply gear. I have one of them that is wired to a fused cigarette lighter adapter. Plugging it into my AGM lead and the car's lighter outlet charges my AGM while I drive.
