Coming from old school I try not to mess with anything connected with the Truck system especially the Alternator and using the Truck batteries for anything that were not designed to be used with.

You have to plug this into a 12VDC receptacle that doesnt auto turn off however. Most of my 12VDC receptacles associated with my truck all turn OFF after a short time out once the iginition key is turned off.
Just my take on the subject...
