Proprietary connectors and unique, non-standard, voltages make this hard. even once you get the voltage AND CURRENT to the proper value, the connector might need to be spliced in a manner that could be deemed unsafe, plus prone to failure. But, I am no expert on classmate power supply cables and connectors. If this wasn't first, I would suggest soldering a car dc connector (lighter) onto the battery to plug the inverter into, but, this
is FIRST, so we can't do that. I hate proprietary connectors!
