car charger

[lamiker]

HI ALL...
Do i have to use a car charger to charge my batteries in the car? i know it sounds stupid but i bought some cheap device that turns my car lighter into a 3 prong inlet so can i plug my regular charger into that instead of buying a dedicated car charger or will that hurt my batteries?
Thank you!!!

A power inverter like this one is perfectly fine to use.

That's the inverter that I have and it works great.

Inverter solved my problem. Loads cheaper than a car charger!

Yes, it may be cheaper then a car adapter, but it actually is a lot less efficient. Meaning it will drain more power from your car battery to run the inverter to charge your batteries, then it will using a car charger directly connected.

Just food for thought.
