Re: Radio install = Does it REALLY hurt ride time?
I charge mine with an automatic 12v charger, but I don't see why you couldn't. My plan is to install an onboard charger like what's found on boats at some point.

Re: Radio install = Does it REALLY hurt ride time?
I have a 12v socket beside the 36v charge port. I don't like the idea of charging from the dash. Charging through 8" of wire sounds better than charging through 8' of wire.

Maybe even more important than length, make sure you size your wires from the charging port to the battery to take the maximum current your charger can put out.

The socket will melt down before that fine strand 10ga. No worries...

Re: Radio install = Does it REALLY hurt ride time?
Unless you're using it to power a large air compressor or something, oh yeah! The port I use to.charge the battery is wired with 10ga. The outlet bank on the dash (for plugging in assorted phones and toys) is wired with 14ga from a fuse block fed from my winch contactor.

My 12 volt charger has two settings, 30 amps and 70, though there's little chance I'd be able to connect its 6 AWG cables to a cigarette lighter adapter. |

Yikes! I use a trickle charger/ maintainer. Bet it doesn't take long to boost a dead car with that thing!
