In-Van charging / invertors...any one know??

[One Day]

What do I need to get to charge my batteries in my van whilst driving?
I know zero about electrics...

You can get inverters very cheap which will run a charger, you need to wire that to the battery, there usually crocodile clips but you can take a live feed from somewhere I’m sure.

You need to have the engine running though or you’ll end up with a flat wrecked battery. On a Ford anyway!

That’s great Mark, I’m glad you didn’t miss my point.

Seems that my dual charger needs about 300watts so something like this, hard-wired in and mounted in the back with the charger I think would do...

Or of course, it could simply set my van on fire.

Make sure you have the right thickness cable when wiring it in

You missed the smiley to show it was a joke, don't forget he doesn't do electrics and might think you're serious!
