Duffey, I like your temp Rover power ideas. My charger is a 12 volt
incandescent light bulb at 60 watts and a large diode in series with
the pickup truck battery and the Deep Cycle battery. Pretty low tech
but it works on the cheap.

Nice in the Winter as a hand warmer but the Summer months it heats
the cab. For guys running high power, the 100 watt incandescent bulb
would give more charging amps.
