I just finished rerouting the wire. This time it is to the switch. Should work now, but I'm testing it outside the house in case it frys again. I plugged two 40W bulbs and a pond pump to it. That should be at least 110W of load. I'll see how long would that last.

I have another idea.... would it be worth it to plug the 12V battery charger also to the output? The original charger will have to be either rerouted or a second charger may be needed. But the idea is to "recirculate" some of the power back to the battery. The only catch is the current draw from the charger vs its output power. If the charger takes 1A to run and only put out 750mA, then it will be counter productive.
