trickle charging one battery from another
hers on I cant figure out , have a old truck camper that i want to take to the races nothing fancy but it has its own battery for the water and lights and radio . other than installing a isolator is there a way to connect a 12 v wire from the truck to the camper battery and trickle charge the battery at like a 10 amp draw while driving.
