[QUOTE="Simmo, post: 431534, member: 4105"] I wish Condor would chime in, but I'll try my best?? A deep cycle battery is designed to have constant, drawn out discharges, then charge cycles... they dont like a massive current draw in a short period. So ideal for a fridge, or running a camp site TV and lighting etc over night. A crank battery can supply a whole fistfull of current at a time... a relatively short time.. (you can do small welding repairs with yer car battery..) It charges fast, with perhaps a 60 or 80 amp alternator when the car is running... So to answer your question, charging detector batteries and the like on the crank battery will not ordinarliy cause any dramas. (Not running an inverter tho!). If you are using the 12v chargers supplied, they are fused, so no more need, normally. (if you are running a power lead from the crank battery, to say the back of the vehicle, yes, that lead needs to be fused AT THE BATTERY!!!) [/QUOTE]
