Question
huntingislife
There has been some talk in the ice fishing forum about charging your ice house batteries with an idling vehicle. You have to use the 7-pin connector to run the charging wire to the ice house. Would it essentially be the same thing to use jumper cables and hook the vehicles battery directly to the ice house battery? Then let the idling vehicle charge the ice house battery. I was searching on the internet and found some people who say that an idling vehicle doesnt deliver too many amps and it would take a long time to charge. Other people say that an automotive alternator is designed to just maintain battery levels and not be used as an actual battery charger, so there could be damage that occurs to the alternator. Is there any truth to this?
