Default RE: Wiring for Field Box


ORIGINAL: JustDreamin

I have a Hobbico Field Box with a 12V battery and Hobbico Accu-Glo Power Supply. I need some help in regards to wiring. Can I run the wires from the Powers supply to the battery and then run wire from the battery to banana plugs on the side of the box to use for the exteral wall charger? Will this mess up the power supply if they are soldered together on the battery? This may sound dumb but I just don't want to burn up anything.
As already mentioned... you can just charge the battery through the starter jacks on the power panel, but you can also install another jack wired directly to the battery as well. I did this so I could power my charger off of the 12V field box battery (to charge an RX or TX battery) and still be able to use my starter jack to start a plane. I installed a fuse on this additional jack, just in case it got shorted out somehow.
