I'll revise my earlier statement. My onboard battery charger is a huge benefit. I plug in at night to keep the battery topped up.

This allows me to use extensive EOC even at night with headlights on. It costs pennies a day in electricity, but saves dollars of gas. If I didn't have the charger I'd have to idle in neutral for coasting instead of EOC.
