So I currently use a Vector 1200 amp jumpstarter with 500 watt continuous (allegedly...) AC inverter as my field power source. It's currently on a luggage cart with my charger and "battery deck".
(yes, the batteries are named lol, helps track them in the spreadsheet)
Of course, this is a lead-acid car battery effectively, so it's big, it's bulky, and it's heavy. The thing is, even if I go dual LiPo (one day...) charging, I don't foresee the need for 500 watts continuous, so I'm trying to see if there's a better option so that this heavy boy can stay in the car.
I was looking at the RYOBI 150-Watt Power Source and was wondering if anyone else had explored the world of tool batteries for RC charging.
Anyone got thoughts on this sort of thing? I know there was a thread a few months ago about using solar but Georgia has a thing with trees and hills all over the place, so between that and the price point, wanted to see what thoughts there were on this approach. (and feel free to comment on my "wonderful" Goodwill-special cart. It's gimpy as heck, I know.
