I would like to be able to charge the battery, for my DC500, while I am on the boat. The only chargers that I have need 110VAC to work. Has anyone come up with a way to charge the battery from a 12VDC power point?

The DC800 adapter will not work with the DC500.
Saltwater even worse! :11:I've done this with my horse trailer you can buy a small watt inverter that converts 12 vDC to 110-115ac. The problem you have to worry about is 110 around water which can be solved with a ground fault circuit. However water and 110 is dangerous and could make for a shocking experience. But can be done for about $50.00

Can you explain why?
Since the plug fits both, the polarity is the same and the output is 5v, it should work.
