charging via anderson plug on camper

Yes,

but don't use a normal battery charger. Buy one that applies a trickle type maintenance charge and leave it on forever.

There is a brand called Battery Fighter. You can get it at Dick Smith, Jaycar, places like that. About $50, I think. You will see that it comes with a couple of different cables and connections that you can use or modify.

I leave one on my boat and other batteries for months at a time.

No need to take the caps of the bateries, just connect it up.

yes wot gone bush sed

This is where a small solar panel is ideal bolted to the shed roof with a lead run down to the trailer & connected via the Anderson plug. We have several machines at work that are used infrequently with $60 solar panels trickle charging & have increased battery life from 6 months to 4+ years.

To cut through all the crap, using an Anderson plug from a battery charger sounds like a great idea.

I assume you intend to plug the charger in were you usually attach the 12V power the car using the Anderson plug.

As has been suggested, it is probably more beneficial to have it hooked up permanently on trickle charge if you don't isolate/disconnetc the battery while the trailer is stored. If disconnected it is less likely to discharge over time.

Its what I intend to do when I put a battery into the van.

I use a Ctek 7000 to charge my van battery via Anderson Plug on van, which when travelling connects to anderson plug on vehicle .

I can also use it to attach to boat battery, or cranking battery on vehiocle when requirered.

Beats having to lift everything to get at battery.
