All that thing will do is keep a battery maintained when not in use.
I have 3 of those 15 watt ones and they barely keep up with just a computer and monitor for about 4-5 hours a day, after going through the inverter. Save your money on this one.

It looks similar to the HF $19.99 one I have...
(sometimes on sale for even less)
EDIT: latest sale flyer says $14.99!

Thanks Guys, that gives me a little better ideaabout it. I think I'll just go back to my original idea of the 6 prong wire harness, or maybe I'll make a storage area for a small 120v charger and charge the battery with the shore power.
