Yes, I do want robust. And I can use some of the extra wire for an outdoor sound system. Thanks for the suggestion, I'll get the 10 gauge.

Thanks Don! This one is cool! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074FH81GQ/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER&psc=1 What would you use for wire? I don't see blue sea wire. Here is a 12 gauge: https://www.amazon.com/GS-Power-Aluminum-Conductor-Amplifier/dp/B07581PPYC/ref=sr_1_4?hvadid=35271...

OK cool, good to know. I also will try charging the smaller battery bank in the car with the solar panel that comes with the home kit and compare the charging speed with the lighter port and see which one works better. I want to explore all options and try them - you never know how you can get a cha...

Here are the two battery banks I am considering. One for the car and one for the house. Although I may sometimes take the larger one on the road while camping without electricity nearby. Small one says 13-22V/2A max input from solar panel. I'm assuming it's about the same for the lighter. https://ww...

Awesome, thanks aerowhatt! That will work out perfectly. I'll check the draw on potential power bricks I'm considering. I go out to my car every day around the time that it is done charging, so it won't be on the 12V for long after charging is complete. Maybe 30-60 minutes. Wait, I have not checked ...

Hi, I've been thinking of wiring an always on lighter port from the battery terminals (or positive battery terminal and vehicle ground nearby), to the center console area. I would then be able to charge some kind of battery that accepts 12v input. Also, I can use the lighter when the car is off, or ...

Yea, not for that, just for laptops, phones and stuff at the campground, mobile office, or power outages.

I have no desire to run corded saws anymore after trying the battery baby saw.

Looks like the inverter is already made by another brand. So I could probably take apart one of the Kobalt 40V chargers and connect the wires from this brand's inverter.

I have avoided doing the math again! Spotty tornado thunderstorms brought down 10 huge trees on the back road in my 2 mile wood scavenging loop near my house. I got this stuff in two and a half loads. These 4 foot sections are normally what they leave on the side of the road and fit nicely into the ...

What about the 8A one?
