Re: (ET) Charge thru PTO recepticle?

[SteveS <ssawtelle fcc net>]

I did exactly (maybe) this. I bought a used golf cart battery charger 
and changed the plug to the small accessory plug (not the big PTO 
plug).  Be sure to use one that is keyed (one lug is larger) and get the 
polarity right. The charger I had had a third (sense) wire that needed 
to be conncetd to + or -, I forget which. Works fine - still need to 
have the disconnect engaged. I don't think I disconnected the old 
charger - it's essentially diode-protected against the new charger.
