Is there a trickle charger built into the truck?
Has anyone added a Battery Tender or something like that to maintain the batteries when it's plugged in?
Thanks!

No there's not. The plug is just for the block heater. Are you having trouble with the batteries dieing on you? How long is the truck sitting between drives?Originally Posted by dhernb

No to your first question, Yes to your second.
My engine block heater and 2 amp Noco trickle charger are plugged into a three-way adapter with a single Noco AC Port (see photos).
The charger is just attached to the top of the fuse box with velcro.
I am plugged into a timer, so the heater and charger come on 4 hours prior to my morning departure.

I think I'll get one of those plugs.
Sick of mangling my hands unplugging that cord inside the bumper.
I like that setup!!

I used the Geno's plug on mine. it can be put in several different places on the bumper depending on what you want.
I think they have one for basically all gens too.

I will be copying this!
No I'm not having trouble.
I was just curious.
Great job Bob!
Very similar set up as mine.
Used the same plug - Its the ideal plug-in adapter for this situation & I use the Noco Genius G750 with their quick plug in adapters.
I just so happened to have placed the plug in adapter in the same spot as you.
Very easy accessible spot.
