Ron 4 pairs is 8 headlights.
I dont think a small battery charger is going to put out enough power to charge a battery to run one light much less 8.
I see what you are talking about but I would think you would need more batteries.
Plus a strange effect, a bank like that is only as good as the weakest battery.
They would also have to be deep cycle batteries to handle the discharge time while they are on.
Remember that is an unbelievable amount of amps coming from a bank of batteries.
You can always give it a try and see what you get isfyou have the stuff already on hand.
Remember just to toss out a wild number.
If you have two 12 volt batteries hooked up to make 12 volts and both are 1000 amp batteries you will now have 2000 amps.
If you hook them up to make 24 volts you will still have 1000 amps.
You can cook some very big wire with either one.
