|  Onyx 230
Ok, so I have an onyx 230 charger and I was wondering if I could use the alligator clips to hook it up to a car battery and charge my batteries that way. It said it could be used with a 11-15v AC supply.

I believe you mis-read it......I will guess it stated a, "11-15 VDC supply". AC supply implies a wall outlet. DC supplies a battery input. I "could" look up your charger info, but it's your charger, not mine.  |

Yes, you can power the charger by using the alligator clips connected to your car battery, which is 12 VDC (12 volts direct current, as in battery).

Yeah, I typed something wrong.  Cool, I can charge my batteries when I go over to Glenn Helen tomorrow. I'll take some pictures of the tracks and the supposed crawler course. Thanks for the help.
