power 12v lights with just a battery charger?

[nikwax]

Only problem with Radio Shack unit, is tech specs. does not give how many amps the output is... Typically these units put out 3-5 amps. Unit may not have capacity to run some of the items you want to power with it...

The Tripplite unit is 3 amps DC. That would be OK for LED lights but not for incandescent lamps.

. . . . but then I really think you would be happier using a small battery in the long run - You can't always plug it in

ok, i'm being sold on the battery thing. i like what Arne said too, about the times when you'd like the light to work, like a rest area etc. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo

how do I hook all the 12v light wires onto a battery?

i will have a battery charger hooked to the shore power, and the charger hooked to a small battery, then how do i connect the lights to the battery.... one huge pigtail and a connector?

thanks in advance. i think i'm going to be way happier with this set up than my current one.

tk

Will this help?
