We do not usually go to camp sites. For electricity we rely on solar and alternator recharge through a ring rscdc30.
In these strange times, at christmas we may be going to a camp site for some days. Probably no sun, no driving. We will be running down the leisure battery.
If we arrange a hookup, we have a hookup cable ending in a 4 way RCCB protected set of sockets, from a previous camper but no 240 volt infrastructure. I have a 12 volt stabilised power supply 14 amp maximum current, from a computer. I use this to test 12 volt kit in the house. If I connected the power supply to the hookup and onward to the alternator connections of the ring rscdc30, only when the engine is off. Would this charge the 80 ah leisure battery? Or would it blow a fuse? Or worse?
