Graphene batteries are the future - bit expensive at the moment, but they've massive power capacity & instant charging,...

To all that use direct from van,do you plug into cigarette lighter or wire from the battery terminals?  I have professionally wired  setup,charging 2 batteries from main one,but still feel that this is not ideal and not to be totally relied upon.

Plutonium would be a good substitute and should last about 1,000 years without re-charging  :)

Supply wired straight to the van battery, earth can be sourced from just about anywhere.

I used to have a leisure battery on split charge, that went reasonably quickly, didn't want to spend near a hundred on a new one. Connected it to the van battery after reading David Morris used 2 pumps off the van battery for years, and then never looked back. Have used it this way for years now. Just one pump, but plenty of flow. Not many miles.
