Matt, I do exactly that. When I pull into my garage I open my door and the 2 amp float charger with the cigarette lighter connection I added is right there within reach. I pop out the lighter and pop in the charger. When leaving I get into the car, just pull out the charger - lighter connection and lay it down alongside the car for when I return. This has been working fine for years. I always have a fully topped off battery. It also helps a lot because I often drain the battery when working on my computer system and the car is not running. If your battery has died a number of times already it may have lost its ability to hold a full charge... Dave Delman D2 & 6530 Looking for a manual D without an engine.... Sent from my Treo Yahoo!
