It is probably not rated for maximum output for a long time. You are better off using the WFCO battery charger, that comes in the trailer. ------------- JandL 2013 Honda Ridgeline 2012 177 2 Paynes in a Pod |

It's behind the breaker panel, under one of the dinette seats. ------------- "Not all those who wander are lost." Tolkien 2014 Hood River 177 2005 GMC Envoy XL |

In my 177 it's on the left side under the dinette cushion, and looks like this. The battery charger is in the lower section with the long slots openings

Not on the 179. It is behind the breaker panel, but the breaker panel is under the pantry. |

Just plug your pod into a household outlet (you may need an adapter). The charger is automatic. Once the battery is charged the charger becomes a trickle charger to maintain the battery. Also make sure the battery is hooked up to the pod, just in case you have a disconnect switch, or have the battery disconnected.
