With the proliferation of lithium batteries powering everything from laptops, speakers, tablets, cell phones, tools, cameras, flashlights, heck I hear even entire RVs (lol), is there a DC solution to bypass the AC charging and inverter?
Seen the DC to DC thread and I know there are DC power cords for laptops. But what can be done for everything else?
If not commercially available, some sort of plug in unit in a case that can be an all in one charge station directly setup to our battery banks? Alot can be charged via usb in cigarette lighter adapters which is convenient enough. It's the lithium tools mostly I would say since they don't seem to fully charge when converting from DC to AC back to DC with an inverter.
