| I'm curious if anyone else used their cigarette lighter outlet (or direct connection to a cranking battery) connected to an inverter, then plugged in their on board charger to the invertor while running the outboard before? I've done this a few times and it seems to work like a champ to charge trolling motor batteries. I know they make a number of different inverters, but since the draw isn't too much for my on board unit I think just about any inverter would do. I see that minn kota now offers a unit that does the same thing in one box for ~$150...but I can't really justify getting it since my getto approach seems to be working just fine. I assume there are lots of other folks that have done this through the years, but can't seem to find anything when I have been searching. Maybe I'm missing something? I don't know too much about electrons and crap, but it sure seems reasonable to power the on board via the cranking battery and outboard to me anyway. | |
