Is it possible to charge the battery using the battery lead from the alternator. I guess I would have to turn on the master and pull the breaker on the turn and bank. would this work? Alternately could I charge by disconecting the sensing probe on on the outboard plug on the external power system and using it to charge. Are there any other ways to skin this cat.
