    Sgt.:
            ""Mount it where you can find space.  Wire it directly to the battery terminals, with an in-line fuse, around 5 Amps, using 14 GA stranded wire. "" It should be connected through a relay, connected to a running light circuit, ""

       Lil lost here,1 wire Org.(left front winker/plugs into faring(my bike)Put a splitter there inside 1 to winker other to relay then wire to cigg lighter?) OR hot straight from batt.to -fuse to-relay to-cigg thingy.

  Just getting ready to hook mine up again
But,Going to try your way,I never used it my way(on this bike)Witch just put charger end on Cigg.lighter (had build-in fuse,didn't know/remember amp's),Plugged in to batt plug thingy(on batt.)when needed.Threw in saddle bag.But messing with wires again this wk-end.Help appreciated.
    Quick Question's Why only 5amp.?Lets say ya have a half dead phone(mines a small cheap-o Verizon)How long do you think at 5amp would it take to get to full charge(while bike is running Of course)4-5hr's or lot less,At AC (home)2-3 hr's I know.
  Have you used heated gear ? Thought about it once ,would the gloves fit inside leather gantlets if 1 size larger, ? My winter gear all got stolen(3finger & mitts).
