Here's one for the electricians. I charge DJI drone batteries in the van. I have one DJI charger with input 12V, output 17.6V. The 12V socket it is plugged into is connected to twin leisure batteries. The charge alternately switches on for 10 seconds, off for 5 seconds.
I also have a DJI mains charger for the drone batteries. I connect a small inverter to a 12V socket which then runs the mains charger which also outputs 17.6V. This runs continuously, no issues.
Why is the first scenario with the dedicated 12V charger switching out? Surely the inverter is pulling more power from the leisure batteries than the 12V charger.
Bottom line - how do I charge the drone batteries directly from 12V.
I asked this before and someone said the 12V feed from the van wasn't man enough, so the 12V socket i have now installed is direct to the leisure batteries with heavy cable.
