No, don't even try it. Battery chargers do not need to supply smooth DC in order to do their job and very few do, especially trickle chargers. The only safe way to use a battery charger to power 12 volt electronics is with a battery hooked up to the charger. The battery smoothes out the ripple.

Can I do this? I would like to check a few things and this is easier off the boat. It's a small trickle charger. Can I clamp on the alligator clips and test away?
