   * **a 25A charger will suffice for batteries up to 200Ah, however a 40-50A charger will be best for 100-300Ah batteries**
   * these require professional level wiring from your car battery to the DC-DC charger - and this should be near your auxiliary battery so you don't lose charge voltage
+<note warning>
+  ***do not use a AC-DC or solar charger directly onto your main car battery while it is connected to a DC-DC charger and a partly full auxiliary battery**
+    * the DC-DC charger will detect the voltage of the main battery charger and commence charging your auxiliary battery potentially at a rate higher than the charger to the main battery can provide, and this will result in your main battery going flat!
+    * also **if your DC-DC charger is connected to your vehicle ignition cable, don't leave your key in the ON position without vehicle running as this may drain your main battery**

+  ***high current DC-DC chargers (eg. 100A) can only be used with high‑output alternators (12V – 180A+)**
+    * eg.  large 4WDs, utes, trucks, etc
+  ***lower current DC-DC chargers (eg. 50A or less) can generally be used in most non-EV vehicles**
