Would this work. Using a trickle charger plugged into a power station the clipped to house batteries to charge house battery?


I have 100w solar panel that charges the power station. 

Thank you
 
Short answer is no. To many conversion of energy, remember no conversion is 100% so you are losing energy at every conversion. You would be much better off using the 100 watt panel to charge the house battery. Highdesertranger
 
The other thing is that many trickle Chargers are mostly designed for Maintaining full charge. It puts a lot of stress on many trickle chargers if you're trying to charge a battery that has dropped well below 13.5v. I would imagine that your house batteries would need a deeper charge often.

I have the 100 watt rockpals panel.
There is no accessory on their site that has the alligator clips to attach to the solar. Do you know where I could find them or what they are called?

Thanks so much for the help!
