Oops. .... I do have the car outlet attachment for my Leica battery
chargers but we will be traveling in a school bus.
A solar solution like Charlie suggested might be of use. With the 12v cables for the chargers and a 12v splitter,
several hours of full sun every day or three day might keep you charged up.
A less than cursory search revealed nothing about power draw using the battery input. A quick check of one of my generic
chargers, shows 12v input current of only about 0.1 Amp. You could get Tom to measure draw for your Leica chargers with
a depleted battery installed.
If you then get a solar cell with 4-5x that capacity, you should be able to use both chargers at once in somewhat less
than full sun. Bigger cell = less light needed.
Somehow, I'll bet Tom can work out the details. Engineers have their uses. :-)
With all those batteries and a few sunny days, you should be entirely
independent, if need be.
