stupid human questions, 12v => 110v => 12v Options

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.

That being the case, get a spare battery and some booster cables. The car batteries don't like what you are doing with it, and will not last as long. You will need to put them on charge as often and as long as possible. Contact me if you need more help. I have learned how to test batteries, design battery chargers & power supplies, and also work with inverters up to 1500 watts.
