i usally run at maritime with the comfort of free mains electricity but most of the regionals run outdoors
How could i use a car battery as a power supply for my Core rc UAC50 charger? (im not the best with electrics).
The charger has a 12v dc imput but comes with no lead nore can i seem to find one.

You just have to make a lead up yourself (maybe you can also buy 1) I just bought the connector, wire and crockodile clips and made my own. Pretty easy, just need to have the + and - the correct way.
Take your charger lead to maplins, they will sort you out.

that charger should have the 12 lead with it,my mates does.if i remember rightly you should have a lead with a jack plug on one end and a connector on the other and another separate lead with croc clips on with the opposite end connector on the other end that plugs into the other lead.hope this makes sense

Nearly right. It comes with a lead with DC power plug on one end and crocs on the other.
