I don't know much about batteries or other electrical things but this tread has captured my interest.

Would it be possible to rig a permanent cable connected to a car or truck battery which terminates at a two-wire trailer connector? My idea is to run a wire from the battery to a convenient place where a 12V sealed acid battery could be connected using a trailer connection harness that connects to the kayak battery. Batteries could be recharged while driving or even while the vehicle is parked at the camp site.

My concerns are overcharging issues or doing some sort of damage to the car's electronics. If anyone has some knowledge on this subject, please wade in.
