How do ya'll charge batteries at hotel without outlet access?

[ktdore]

Fishing tournaments and staying in hotels. What ideas to charge batteries if no access to outlets?

[MengRanger]

You either buy a portable gas charger or run the cord out the window. I would never stay at a place without power

[RazorShine]

Don't stay at hotels where this applies.

Carry at least 200' of extension cord. Run under door or out window. When ever I book a room l will ask on availability of external outlets.

[RonCat]

Long cord out the door.

[Mark Perry]

A roll of duct tape and a small traffic/soccer cone helps too.

i carry lots of extension cord on a reel and run it under the door to the boat if i have to.

Find a motel where you can park your boat close enough to a power source

[Riccochet]

Seriously, call ahead and make sure there is power available. Most hotels near lakes will know exactly why you need power.

Like others have said a cord out the door. Make sure to tape it down over walk ways and they won't have a issue with it as long as it's not a trip hazard.

Just run mine out the door. Duct tape it on the sidewalk.

[Nailbender8]

I don't.

I keep a 100’ heavy duty extension cord handy at all times. Reaches most places. At least the ones I frequent.

Small gas generators,

take a genny with you

[smghaley]

Some hotels have electrical outlets at the bottom of the light poles in the parking lot.

I ask before booking. If they do not, then I find one that does. If it is a group, get a house.

[Mark Weare]

Make sure your cord is at least 12 gauge to provide proper power to your chargers.

If you're in a room, there's at least one outlet for a lamp etc, run the cord out the window or even your door if need be.

Its very hard at times if your staying in a specific town to find a hotel that has an outside outlet. I run into this alot traveling in Indiana with my boat.

I do this !! I've run 3-days without having to plug in !! Charges your Trolling Batteries as you run and borrows from them if your start battery gets too weak to start.
