Default Acc power

It's the same as other cars, except that now most cars use 1 click forward as Acc, 2 Clicks is On, then turn and hold the 3rd for Start. Since the 12V system is mostly the same as other cars, and the Acc power is from the 12V system, I don't think it would be a problem (unless you tricked out the audio system so there is a heavy load). If it did turn out that the Lead-Acid (standard car battery) was too small, You could get a bigger one.


If you got a 12V portable radio you could power it from the acc jack it stays on all the time even with the car off (the one by the PRNDL, the one next to the radio and the 110V AC do turn off when the car is off)
