Subscribed. I put my deep cycle batt in the stock position, ran wires through firewall to 25 amp charger partially under and behind the driver seat. The plug for the charger rest on the floor by my left foot, always pluged into a Kill-a-Watt. I plug into the killawatt by opening the door and running the extension cord, a somewhat heavy one, in front of the driver mirror. I close the door. It mildly crimps the cord, and has flattened it over time a little. But my charging is completely sealed against weather and engine heat.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
