Recommended car charger for Nikon EL-13 batteries

[Boney]

I was surprised find that Nikon doesn't make an adapter or charger setup for the car. What's the best way to go. I assume that a 12V to 110VAC inverter could be used but it seems like a lot of stuff to carry around. What are you folks using?

I have an inverter that I use on road trips where a charger is necessary. Usually two batteries using the vertical grip lasts me long enough to get to a hotel or some such for charging. The charger doesn't draw a lot so you don't need a massive inverter.

Some 12V to 110V inverts are pretty small, I don't know how good they are, but certainly small enough to just keep it in the vehicle at all times.

Something like this would probably work well charging your camera batteries. Amazon.com: BESTEK 300W Power Inverter DC 12V to 110V AC Car Inverter with 4.2A Dual USB Car Adapter: Patio, Lawn & Garden

I mean, I'm sure you can find a third party charger for your EL13 batteries that have a cig adapter and those would probably work fine. But I'd think the power inverters would charge lot more faster.

5-year old thread -- I'm sure OP has figured it out.

Oh lmao, I didn't even notice! Oh well, it's early my brain isn't working. Only half way through my cup of coffee.

I've done it, too.
