Dr Prepare charging from cigarette lighter

[Stache]

Just got one with hub. Don’t want to be stuck if hub goes out. I have an older Kodiak that works great and have 12v charger for it. Anyone know if I can use that charger on the Dr Prepare? Could make an adapter on it to the Anderson plug.
Also, any problem with building a 12v outlet and connecting directly to Prepare posts?
Thanks everyone ?

Can you add some links to each part? I don't think enough people are familiar with these products to say without more details.

Are you trying to charge the Dr. Prepare battery with that charger, or charge something (Kodak == camera?) from the Dr. Prepare battery?

The charger looks to me as if it does the latter. I don't have that battery, but I've watched a lot of videos on it. I believe you can do either options that you suggest, i.e. (a) ring-terminal-to-cigarette-lighter adapter off the main terminals, or (2) Anderson Powerpole to cigarette lighter adapter.

Yes…….want to charge Dr Prepare from 12v cigarette lighter outlet via the existing charger.

What are the input and output voltages of that charger? I cannot tell from the picture. The cable is covering those values.

Also that charger looks like it draws from the cigarette male plug and outputs to a DC 5521 or similar plug. Correct?

Thank you for responding……the charger is male 12v cigarette to DC 5525 which charges a different power station (Kodiak).
But I was hoping to directly charge (through the posts) with male to male cord.

Sorry, I don't follow. Your first post indicated using a charger on the Dr. Prepare. Are you now indicating you want to connect another battery, or the Kodiak unit, directly to the Dr. Prepare via terminal-to-terminal?

 

[ejfluhr]

So I've read your posts several times now and think I have another interpretation. Are you asking if you can connect the charger input (male cigarette) directly to the Dr. Prepare? That way you can charge the Kodiak from the Dr. Prepare.

If that is what you want, then the Amazon cable should work.

Thank you Sir.
