plug into the cigarette lighter to help keep the alternator off for a while,
the only thing i can think off that it wouldn't work is the output voltage,12.6-10.8, but one can always add a dc to dc converter to get higher voltage

it provides about 125 watts, that would take off 250 watts from the alternator, thats a third of a horsepower.not too bad
and it weighs only one pound

what do you guys think?
i wouldn't recommend using a Lithium battery for that, they require the proper kind of charger and can be damaged if drained too low.
