If I was normally charging the cart in a garage with more plentiful electrical capacity, the 12V aux battery would probably be much more appealing. |

Re: Newbie wanting to add stereo
I have debated back and forth about going to a converter and getting rid of my 12v battery. Really for no more than the 12v should require for charging, you should be able to get away with a Battery Tender which is small, can be hard wired with a quick connect plug and doesn't draw much power. Just plug the Battery Tender in overnight you should be good.
I currently have a 10 amp charger that I carry for the 12v and while it works relatively fast, it is a PITA to deal with. It would be convenient to just draw from the main pack and not deal with separate battery and charger, but then there are times like yesterday when the kids turn the LiTESeasy accessory circuit on and it drains the battery when I know that the separate battery is a good thing. As far as outlets being at a premium at the campground, do your campgrounds have a separate 15 amp outlet on the pedestal? Just about every place I have been has had this and I plug the cart into that outlet so I'm not taxing the panel in the camper. |

From what I've gathered on various RV forums, the 50 amp only pedestal is fairly common practice with new RV park construction. |

Re: Newbie wanting to add stereo
cbv, I see your point about the campground, but keep in mind, you probably wouldn't have to charge the 12v as much as the cart batteries. It doesn't hurt a deep cycle battery as much getting drained below 50% as it does a cart battery. I don't charge mine near as much as I do the cart batteries and we ride alot at night to.
