Plug and Jump

Maybe attach some kind of quick-disconnect plug to the battery. Then you
could just open the oil door and hook it up? Something similar to a trailer
light plug on the battery and a matching plug to the charger.
I assume this thing you are talking about attaches somewhere in the interior
of the plane?

Problem grows out of a six month old RG battery that won't hold a
charge for two weeks. Bought a plug and Jump from Aircraft Spruce.
Neato idea; I don't have to remove the cowl. I was going to use it to
trickle charge the battery. Trouble is, when I plug in the Plug and
Jump, it powers the panel. I don't want the gyros spinning for hours
while the charger is charging the battery. What's a mother to do? C172N
model.

Thanx for the quick response. The Plug and Jump installs through a
small door on the left side of the lower cowl. I would prefer to use
this access, but I may be pushed to your idea, even without field
approval. I'm trying to keep the bird as factory original as I can,
'cuz even though I don't believe Cessna is perfect, they're probably
better than my own imagineering.
