Charging Boat Batteries From Your Vehicle Source

[troutgnat]

Gentlemen,

I am a penny pincher now a days like many of us in this economy. Often times when I have two days off in a row I will head to the lake prepared to spend the night. I fish hard all day and want to fish the best hours so why burn the extra gas going back/forth to the house with no sleep. Yes I take all the gear and clothes with me and my one burner pack stove and food. I spend the night in the truck in a secluded area, get up and fish again the next morning. I have this down to an art except for ONE thing! I'm trying to find a way to charge my trolling batt's. CAN I DO THIS FROM MY VEHICLE SOURCE? I know they make these A/C adapters for cigarette lighters and I have one. I tried it last time but it didn't last long. I ran an extension cord from my on-board charger to the cigarette lighter and plugged her in. After about 5 minutes of charging it kicked the fuse relay.

Can anyone help me out????

I'm thinking that you would need to wire it through your trailer...Not sure what kind of connection you have on your trailer, but the battery on my camper charges through the AUX 12v wire on my 7pin connection. Took me most of the weekend and 2 trips to the auto parts store to wire that and install the brake controller. Cheers.
