    Would this product be sufficient to trickle charge my battery for a couple days before dying out?

    Looking for a way to top off the battery every now and then since I have no access to plug in the car in my parking space. Even though I regularly drive the car I find the alternator doesn't fully charge the battery in my 488. Even with a brand new battery the voltmeter doesn't show over 12volts with the car turned off even directly after long drives.

    No it will not. I have a Yeti 1000 and it will last around three days with a trickle charger. https://www.costco.com/Goal-Zero-Yeti-1000-Lithium-Portable-Power-Station.product.100338966.html

    You will probably need one of the bigger Yeti units to last more than a couple of days

    Shoot, I was hoping I wouldn't have to spring for the yeti 1,000 as I just wanted something to top up the car since I already drive it regularly.

    how safe it is to leave power stations inside the car? I am.planning something like this, left inside the car abd connect the trickle charger directly into this?
