I'm interested in being able to recharge 12v batteries when camping off the grid. Most generators I've looked at do have a 12v output, but they are limited to around 10A.
I did find some gas powered 12v chargers, but they are very expensive (like $2000).
I was thinking about an inverter generator such as this Generac or the popular Honda. Aren't these just 12v alternators/generators driving an inverter? Do you think I could tap the 12v output and use it to charge a battery directly?
Or worse case, maybe drive a DC-to-DC charger with it?
