You could add a plug to the charger and just plug it in each time, as seen here
http://electrictractorstore.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=21or you could hard wire the charger output to the terminals on the back of the receptacle under the hood, no extra parts needed. Either way you will need to turn on the main disconnect when charging (just like when using the built-in charger). Make sure you get the polarity correct. It may be easier to check with a voltmeter than to figure out the wiring diagrams.

I'd like to supplement (i.e. replace, but not remove) my stock E-15 charger with a soneil I bought about a year ago. Working from the E-15 service manual, can anyone suggest the best place to wire in the charger? This is my first wiring job on my otherwise fully functioning E-15, so I need to build up a bit of courage to start poking around. Despite what is ostensibly a bachelor's degree in engineering, and a Ph.D. on top of that, I'm still struggling to map the diagrams of the service manual to the physical view of the device itself. I imagine it's as simple as splicing the V+ and V- of the new charger to their corresponding wirings coming out of the old charger, but I have no idea where those are.
