If Robert wants to run a charger from an inverter in his car he could do worse than buy a clone charger (MH21) as they are much cheaper than a genuine Nikon version, this one, costs £15.
I have just such a charger! Zero cost/risk...
Exciting things have cropped up this morning so I probably won't have time to wire in the inverter today.
A small parcel from eBay with a little electric meter in it.
I am trying to trace the hole in my electric consumption. About 55% of my entire home electric consumption is consumed by my main computer and it's ancillaries. I feel that is disproportionate and not really acceptable. I am on a quest to identify the culprit and reduce the consumption to more acceptable levels.
As for online reputation, in my experience it comes with time. One reads posts and assesses the content, if it's well put together and backed up with conversation over time a good reputation can be built.
I always start by giving someone I don't know the benefit of any doubt and go from there, some dig holes for themselves, others rise in my esteem to dizzy heights.
I never make claims to be an 'expert' in any field' I spent 55 years in the construction trade, covering most disciplines from digger driving to site management. Along the way I have learnt many practical skills including electrics, engineering and welding, even a little flying!!!
Every day I try to learn more and more about more and more, rather than my definition of an expert which is someone who learns more and more about less and less! LOL Many principles and techniques are transferrable between disciplines, once learnt they are invaluable.
