>>2523522>external battery pack>sometimes charge it with the inverter>in this way I maximize how many electrons I lose by converting DC from my alternator into AC just to turn it back into DC and then probably back to AC again if my packaged battery thing has AC outlets on itAbhorrent efficiency loss.
Lead acid golf cart batteries have the greatest usable amp hours for dollars invested. Charge them with solar and from your alternator directly (with a continuous duty solenoid to separate them from engine battery).
Please stop buying those pre-packaged battery pack scams, they're nothing more than overpriced batteries shrouded in plastic and marketing.
