Trickle/maintain charge underground / no power.
Discussion
I'm sure this has been asked before so apologies if so!
I want to run a possible solution by those who are good with electrical stuff.
I have a V8 vantage underground with no access to mains power or sunlight. It isn't a daily driver.
I own a 20000mAH power bank and a one of those Lidl battery maintainers.
I'm aware that the battery draw is 100mah or so, and will remain the case until I can fully deactivate the now obsolete and unused tracker.
My proposed solution:
Could I effectively bolt on my original power pack via USB output to the input of the new power bank that has a plug socket (for the trickle charger) essentially increasing the longevity of the power supply and then plugging in a CTEK charger or my existing charger to keep the vehicle on trickle for 200+ hours?
I'm not sure if this would be safe or feasible because of a potential inability for the larger power bank to be charged and to discharge simultaneously? (I haven't bought it yet to try).
Alternatively, does anyone else have any suggestions as to how to keep the battery in tip top condition?
I do use the disconnect button and I know that I could use a terminal switch but it's a pain to have to do that...
Thank you in advance!
