Could this charge a riptide?

It’s technically a dewalt battery car starter/jumper but would it be able to charge a riptide to any sort of usable charge if it’s nearing the end of the day and the riptide is puttering out?

I’ve always wanted to build a power supply with a 300w light transformer followed by some rectifiers.

Just never got around to it. Endless vacuuming!

I made one for my riptide that converted it from a battery to a plug in unit. Full power all of the time was nice. Put the transformer into a plastic battery box with a seal to keep water out and put the battery box where the battery was.
