Exit sign battery on TC temporary
I have two 6-volt golf cart batteries, but they sit in the truck bed (in front of the fender), then are wired in.
I also have solar, which is not supposed to be hooked up unless there is a battery connected first (battery keeps things stable).
When truck is away, I also would like minimal power, for one light at night emergency, but this is the secondary concern. I do not camp by removing TC, it's always on the truck when using it.
I want to put an exit sign battery, small lead acid, where the TC battery would normally go in the TC battery box, and have it hooked into the 12 power grid.
There is no point in the expense or weight of a full-size RV battery.
This allows me mainly to leave the solar hooked up all the time without worry of an unstable load or something on the charge controller - which can burn it out.
Has anyone done this, or have a better method they already did?
I'm not interested in thoughts or ideas really, just real-life things that have been done, and pros and con's of it.
Would I be able to power the HippaJacks like this? plugged into shoreline with converter providing additional 12v?
