If you want to charge with the vehicle just get some big jumper cables and go direct battery to battery and let it idle. Need #4 wire for best results. Or just buy the wire and make your own. Still need to idle for one or two hours to get some charge in a low battery. Charging takes time.

You cannot remove the battery or the fridge will stop working. You would have to get a second battery to charge all day while you drive.
