So you're taking your 12v source (let's say it's 13.8v), adding an
inverter to make 120v, then plugging in a charger to bring it back down
to 13.8v.
I'm fairly new to the KX3 game, but it seems like I must be missing
something here.

One solution to charging the Li-Ion batteries from a 12 V DC source is
to use a small inverter. One I've found which works well is the Samlex
PST-120-12. It's a small "pure sine wave" inverter, rated 120 W,
costing about $120. It seems to work just fine with the KXBC2 charger,
and should work just as well with the KXBC3. I would use only a "pure
sine wave" inverter, as the square wave from a "modified sine wave"
inverter is likely to cause the charger to malfunction.
Needless to say, I have no connection with the vendor, other than as a
customer. I've had good luck with other Samlex products.
