It might? Depends on what you are testing; a Navigation instrument might need an amp, or a light will need a little more, or a pump may need 5amps, or a windless may need 20amps. Trickle chargers are usually rated for 2amps. Not sure of consequences if it doesn't work. Best to protect the charger w an inline fuse and the device w an inline fuse of the right size.
There are several devices that come with 120AC to 12VDC transformers. My Garmin GPS and a West Marine VHF came w one. I have several from kid's toys, too. You can also plug the device into the 12V socket in your car. Let us know how that goes?

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?
