P500 charging

[kosh]

Can the battery be trickle charged through the accessory port on the dash?

Yes, as long as you get the wiring polarity correct. But isn't the accessory port switched? If it is, the ignition would have to be on to charge. That wouldn't be good.

Why not add a pig tail connected directly to the battery?

I have a short lead (pigtail) attached to the battery and extending out under the back of the front cover. When I take the buggy out I yank on the wire on the trickle charger to remove it. when the buggy returns to the garage I reconnect the charger. Always.

Mine came with that pigtail from the dealer. It fits any of the battery maintainers I have in the garage.

Yes, some dealers have contracts to add them.

This was discussed at length earlier today…..

P500 - P500 Starting & Shifting Conundrum

2016 P500 is giving me fits. Each time I’ve went to start it over the last few months the battery has been dead. Tried replacing with a new battery and had a draw test done with nothing showing out of the ordinary. Have also hooked up a solar powered trickle charger to the cigarette lighter port...

I put the trickle charger under the seat on the passenger side and leave the cord so that I can stuff it behind the passenger when riding and pull it out to plug it in.
