On a non B&O truck, is there a wire behind or under the seat to tap for power? I would like to have a usb charger to keep my lithium jump box topped off that lives under the seat.

My jump starter stays fully charged on it's own for many months so I have no reason to have it hard wired to a power source.

I would be nervous about a LiOn battery charging under my back seat. I even charge my EGO mower battery in the middle of my driveway. Love that mower, don't trust the battery.

Have an ego as well. I have my charger plugged into a smart outlet and just turn it in about a half hour before I want to mow but I never leave it charging. No issues yet in almost 5 years

I’d prefer a charging cycle, perhaps weekly or monthly. I’d not leave it plugged in.

I thought lithium batteries lasted longer if they were not maintained at always over 80 percent SOC. Sweet spot from 20 to 80 percent.

Yeah, I would not put that battery on a constant maintenance. You can leave it for months and it won't have lost much charge.

I've used mine at least three times in the past year (not on my Maverick) and still have 80% power.
