Just a quick thought on this concept, what if you used a deep cycle battery and somehow combined an alternator with an ac compressor clutch, you could then keep your alternator in the car and simply use a toggle switch to engage/disengage the alternator drive.
Add some solar panels to the system to help with charging.
Maybe even automate the switch on/off depending on the voltage at the battery.
Just some thoughts, take them as you will. JoJotheTireMan
