re: Help needed: trying to connect LED light bar to generator for night fishing

OK, I will keep it simple. There is no really good way to plug the lights (DC) directly to the generator (AC) without some fireworks going off. I would recommend getting two good 12v batteries and hooking them up in a series and going that route myself. Way more power than you need, no need for fuel, simple, and quiet. To connect the batteries in series hook the red or + on one battery to the black or - on the other with a cable. The other two poles should be connected as normal to the light. You can either get a 24v charger or remove the cable and charge both as 12v together or seperatly. Here is a LINK for instructions. You could wire your batteries parallel but I would go 24v.
