Hey all,<br /><br />I want to know if it would be possible to charge the starting battery on my boat through the cigarette lighter receptacle.<br /><br />Here's the situation:<br /><br />I have a popup tent trailer that I park right next to the boat. The popup has an IntelliPower onboard charger with the Charge Wizard do-hickey; it does a great job charging the AGM "house" battery in the popup. I wired external, weatherproof lighter-type receptacles on the popup for cooking with 12v appliances while camping.<br /><br />Can I craft a cord with a lighter receptacle plug at each end to go between the popup and the boat and use it to charge my lead acid boat battery?<br /><br />Would I have to unhook the popup's AGM battery to do this? What gauge wiring and fuse amperage would I need in all the circuits (I wired all the receptacles with 10 AWG and use 15 amp fuses)?
