I have a Yeti 1500x as my powerstation and want to be able to recharge my vehicle battery from it if I ever need a jumpstart with no one around.

I have Anderson plugs, 110 ac and the dc cigarette outlet on the power station available.

Anyone have a good option?

Thanks
 
Jumpstarting and recharging are almost 2 different things. When my trucks battery died, I used a 6 amp Guest charger to recharge it. My truck has a sizeable generator that can be pull started if the batteries die.

But I'd rather use the Yeti to top off a booster pack. Cost isnt any more. They might even have jump boxes with a charge function by now.

For maintaining your vehicle battery level from a power station a 12v battery maitainer / trickle charger would work. Something like a NOCO GENIUS2D with auto shutoff when not being used would work perfect.

As far as jump starting, I would also suggest a NOCO BOOST HD jump box to keep in the vehicle. You can recharge this device from your powerstation as well.

The NOCO is what I have.
Gone are the days we send our sons and daughters out in the world making sure they "have a set of jumper cables". No sir. For that they have to wait around for a good person, which leaves them vulnerable. These NOCO and the like are game changers

Helps that they cost less than good jumper cables.
