Haven't had a problem with the battery running down yet but...
if I wanted to give a quick charge at the track, could I... run an inverter in the truck to power a small 10 amp charger, to boost the battery between runs? Will it run my truck battery down in a 1/2 hour? How big of an inverter will I need to run the charger? I've checked different brands specs but they don't seem to tell what the power consumption is. |

You don't even need the diode. The alternator will basically just be charging both batteries. I'd arrange a quick-disconnect system using the large charging connectors you can find from Pegasus and others. It's not cheap, but it's MUCH less likely to result in an accidental short caused by someone in a hurry. Just attach one quick disconnect to the battery in the truck, and another to the 914. No need for an inverter at all.
