yeah you should be able to I haven't tried it myself but if you have a charger with boost/start function then that should produce enough to run small output stuff like the radio and windows

all you can run is wat is rated at less then the charger so if its a 4 amp charger the ignition on will be about 2 amps so not a lot can be run like that.

The charger has 12volts and 20amp rms written on the front and is a big old box (absaar). Is it right to think its a meaty old thing?
