I'm thinking I want a portable battery box, one of the ones with USB and other output options built-in. And I want to be able to move it between my (Yukon XL) tow vehicle, FJ60 and trailer (on the trailer it'll power the winch and some lights on an as-needed basis, no charging need there). I will also be able to use it as (heavy) portable 12v power source for a camping hot water system and other needs away from the truck(s).
So... I'm thinking Andersen connectors and some method to safely mount the box in each location. I'll be happy with a simple isolator to deal with charging. I'll want to be able to charge it in both the Yukon and the 60 and I'll want both to be able to function properly without the second battery.
To get this all to function on either 1 or 2 batteries I'll need to be able to get all of the items connected to the portable battery to run off of the primary... essentially bypassing the 2nd battery. Again: Andersen connectors I think.
Anyone out there have anything like this already...? I'm getting ready to draw it out and have no desire to reinvent the wheel if there are solutions available.
Thanks,
