Assuming this would work, all that would need to be done is to create a pigtail with a cigarette lighter plug on one end, a fuse and a connector to the battery on the other end. Could it be as easy as that? If someone knows, please post.
yes dsaftey, a vehicle cigarette/accessories port would work with a pigtail and couple alligator/spade clips if you have a 12v battery or two 6v in series. make sure you use an inline fuse on your pig tail. low batteries will cause a lot of heat and pull a lot of amps, so keep an eye on them. the fuse size will be dependent to what amp battery and wiring gauge you have/use. dont over size the fuse.

you could also use a car ac/dc inverter and use your charger that you normally use. slower charge (probably milli amps wall wort type) but will be healthier for your battery(s)
