Deep cycle batteries need a slower charge, but I don't want to take all day to charge the battery.
If your'e driving a ways you can get a full charge. The wire size should not regulate the charge.
I need an isolator and more research.
Well, when I replace my fuse I can measure the amps and volts coming out of that wire and we can do the math an figure out a charge rate from that.
The regulator will keep it from over charging and I can disconnect the charging wire if I
think it will be an extended time period. But it would put out a higher rate of charge.
The charger idea is good, but can you find a battery charger that runs off a battery?
I am enjoying this discussion and everyone's input on this.
Beauty rest is in great need. Great Great need at this point.
So I must retire for the evening.
Hoaxci5, IamJeep, Sal, thank you very much. I will continue tomorrow.
WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Morning all, I could'nt stay up any longer so I crashed for the night.
I read somewhere (too many sites to remember) there is a battery tender that runs off of the vehicle battery and switches off with the ignition. So, it only charges when the vehicle is turned on (or keyed on). I think it was like $110 or so and had all the fetures you would need. I'll look for it today during lunch.

<Insert Joke/>
She was an avid gardener, and she got carried away purchasing shrubbery one day.
You might say she had all her money tied up in hedge funds.
She would have a safer portfolio is she didn't place all her money into such a garden-variety investment.
Though Hedge funds are dirt cheap
So a man walks into a bar:
Bartender says "what will you have?"
Man says to bartender "give me a Bin Laden"
The bartender asks "a Bin Laden; what's that?
The man replies "two shots and a splash of water"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ now thats funny
The 14 gauge has the current to charge a battery (more then a trickle charge at 15amps) I'm just not convinced it cant until I know what the flow is threw that wire then I will know what the watts are and then make a good decision. I will add that jeep put that there to charge a trailer battery which is pretty good evidence the flow or volts will be there to charge the batter.
