You may want to stop at an auto parts store and buy a battery brush and clean up the insides of the battery leads and posts. That normally is the root of all battery problems. I agree you need an isolator switch so you dont run down your car battery when your parked and using power. You may want to get a solar cell in the mix to insure charging when your parked for long times as well. Your insurance company may cover a jump by a taxi or tow truck for the next time it happens. Great to see how you adapt to life in the great USA…….cheers.

I have yet to find a Solar Panel that is cost effective for the amount of Watts they create. My battery is in a plastic container, and I can put it in a backpack, take it into McDonalds and plug it in to charge. If I can make this battery last 3-5 days between charges, this system will work and a lot cheaper. I think I will always have a place close to plug in things.

You could charge your backup battery thru the cigarette lighter while you are driving. They make cords- connectors for that purpose.
