« on: July 18, 2021, 06:13:01 PM »
This is a neat idea, but i'm not skilled or smart enought to pull that off.
I have a 2kw battery in my 4x4 with solar and a few bits and bobs running more or less full time. When I go camping, I sometimes run out of battery, but there is not much more room to put leisure batteries and they are expensive.
The Zero FXS comes on trips, that's 7kw of power just sitting there and I wish I could use that. Could I get a 12v out from the bike easily and run my 12v car stuff from the bike in case I ever need it. The batteries on the car are wires with Anderson connectors, my thought was to just wire a plug form the bikes 12v directly to the 12v system on the car but I'm assuming I'd have to disconnect my solar to prevent it putting in power somehow.
Is there a better safe and simple way. I can solder and understand simple 12v stuff, but I'm not that good with the rest of the thongs mentioned above.
