Can I connect this to my 12v deep cycle pop-up camper battery to charge my phone while camping?

I believe so. I connect it to my motorcycle battery while I'm riding and charge my phone.

If you use a battery tender to maintain your batteries when not in use, then I would imagine you have the pig tail attached. Just plug into the pig tail. However if you are not charging the big battery in some way it will draw it down. My opinion, if you camp a lot, invest in a good quality solar charger.

It should work with any 12V battery, I have it hooked to my motorcycle battery to charge my phone, ipod and other devices while traveling.

Not made for that. 12v only. I use mine on my cycles to power, and or charge GPS units mainly.

Yes and no... If you vehicle as cigaret light with constant 12V without key in the ignition then you can. This charger put out max 5amp or so it is okay to use. If you have to use with ignition on then you are wasting the charging so I would use battery terminal

I use this solar charger. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004FOEUI0Its cheap and very efficient and great when I need this battery for camping and stuff.

I strongly doubt it but you might want to contact BixPower about a 12v ext. battery. I use a large one (about the size of a tablet) from them to power a 12v device and a 5v device all weekend (about 50 hours).

Yes. I have this mounted on my boat dock to charge a 12 v Battery for my boat lift. Working perfectly.

Yes. It's fairly low watt and is 12 volt so it should last a long time connected directly to a good battery

Probably not. Your battery pack is giving you 10 watts peak, Your charger needs 9.6 watts. This requires the converter to be 96% efficient. It probably can't make this. Do you know if your 12v device really does need a full 0.8A? Is is that just the max rating of the charger you are trying to replace?

I would think not, this is just a slow trickle charger. You are looking for a 12v continuous power supply.

You can do this but it will take a long time to fully charge. With only one generator, you will get about 0.1 amp into your 12V battery.

Yes. You connect the battery with the charge controller. This is only for 12Volt battery. If you have 24volts, you will need to replace the charge controller with a MPPT one.

hey Icepuck, did this work? Could you do same with a battery charger I am wondering? Im trying to run 12v lights off a generator and trying to find a solution... FF here too and rigging out a response trailer..

Yes, but beware, you probably want to charge more than just 1 battery, more like a small bank of batteries. For example, I have mine hooked up to a small bank of 8 SLA 12V batteries giving me about 1500 watts stored to power a 1200 W Inverter for appliances. It's like a solar powered battery pack so that I can work and have phone conversations in the most odd places (no generator noise in the background, just pure silence or nature noises, it's awesome). You'll want a decent charge controller (I bought a 10 Amp controller, which is overkill, but has the better charge-methods and pattern that I wanted). Good Luck!

"Specifications:Input range: 8~23vOutput voltage:5V "I doubt it will do a good job with lower input voltage than specs promise.Btw, I am not very happy with the phone charging performance when input is 12.5 volts.I have mounted two of these inside the 12V light fixtures above the table in my 19ft camping trailer

Good question. I would ask the manufacturer I had a question of them once and they were fairly prompt in answering. With mine I only need to connect to the batteries on my pick up camper and charge away!

You need to buy a 12 regulator they sell for solar panels so it will not over charge your 12 volt batteries.
1867852
Yes, but only when camper is plugged into 110 AC to power inside AC outlets. The 9 volt battery used in the unit is only for backup when the AC power is out and may discharge quickly. You really should get units intended to run on 12 volts DC for a camper or units that are intended to run on internal batterys. Here's one, I'm sure there are others as well -Kidde KN-COB-B-LPM Carbon Monoxide Alarm
