Inverter use

Had a thought about using an Inverter to charge 24 v trolling motor batteries while they are in use .Is this a probable fix or a danger ?I have an onboard 24 v charger and always have an extra battery so why not charge these batteries that get used the most while they're in use.?

where is the power coming from to feed the inverter?

Power will come from a lighter plug in ,(extra battery) .FYI,I have never used an inverter before so this is a first for me ,I don't want to fry my I-Pilot .The on board charger is a 2 bank and charges my 2 - 12 v.batteries well ,overnight,I really don't see why this will NOT work but am really really open to advice on such .Thanks ...ss
 
Let me see if i understand you...you want to charge a battery(s) from another battery in the boat?..and what is this charging battery feeding the inverter used for?ignition by chance? are you saying you are going to invert the dc to ac and then hook a charger to your two other batteries?

is the battery you wish to charge from hooked up to the boat engine charging system?....if so does the boat engine put out 24+ volts?...is so(and i doubt it) how many amps does the engine put out?

to be frank i think you are peeing into the wind and will damage something and it wont work anyway...
 
Ayuh,.... Sounds like a perpetual motion machine,.... Many power outa thin air,...

Each time power is converted, there's a power loss, no gains,...
