But wonder if that unit could be used as a stand alone power supply for
12v stuff in the van, with no battery present? The current one can.

I haven't tried that. I always have batteries in situ. It's the only way

inverter.

It does say reverse polarity protected, so may not even fire up if the
battery is totally flat.
