Towed Vehicle Battery Charging Interesting Idea

https://www.ebay.com/itm/DC-DC-Converter-10-12-15-20A-150-250-300-400-1200W-Step-up-Step-down-Buck-Boost/382219150784?hash=item58fe0965c0:m:mCHY1nLxgu47cYpdyd1LmDA

Send sixty volts through long long circuit

Units can be paralleled (this I like a lot). HIGH AMPERAGE POTENTIAL

Adjustable voltage regardless of Laurel & Hardy grade chassis engine ECU schizophrenia. Means YOU select what your rig's batteries need right at the batteries.

  • I had mentioned something like this a long time a go ! Just be careful because those heat sinks are way undersized and require good air flow (fan) to prevent them from melting down.
  • Just affix a wind turbine / generator to the roof of the toad and be done with it....

    Take advantage of some of the parasitic wind loss the tow vehicle produces.
