Cordless trickle car battery charger?

Black Gold · 10-21-2011, 09:00 AM

I live in an apartment complex and do not have access to a power outlet where I park my car.

I am wondering if anyone is aware of any good cordless battery trickle chargers that I could use for this purpose?

Thanks, and sorry for the somewhat off topic post. I am sure that some of you have encountered the same situation while performing various tuning methods to your cars.

Only thing I know of is a solar one. Not sure how you could cordlessly charge something

Thanks, I saw those.

I was thinking possibly charging the unit up beforehand using a wall outlet.

Kind of like a power drill battery...?

Hmm...never heard of anything like that for a car. What you could do is get a spare battery which you can keep charged in your house with the trickle and then bring it out to the car when you need to give the car more power and connect via jumper cables.

The only cordless I know are solar.
Just make sure you drive the car atleast once a week.

I think some VW's come with a solar panel that you can leave on the dash and just plug into the cigarette lighter plug. Maybe you can find one of those on Ebay or something.
