Arch,
that's a cool idea!
, to know if your battery is still good, just remove the cover of your truck, and you'll see three tiny leds (green, yellow, and red) shining brightly which indicates that your battery is full and ready to go, but once you see only the red led litted up, it means that your battery is not good or low in power!
.... coool
Lexar,
those earphone jack and socket you are using right now may cause harm to your trucks electronics or to your charger, notice how close the positive and the negative terminals on the plug connector, if the connector becomes loose inside your truck while your charging, short circuit may occur
... so instead of Earphone Socket, try using a 2 pin connector (male and female) i think Radio Shack have them and ask for the smallest one, or visit your LHS and ask for a small dean's plug connector.. this plugs may help prevent damaging your charger or your electronics due to short circuit or reverse polarity, no need for the fuse and may save you a little more space for any additional upgrades say..a horn or a wicnh maybe in the future
.. just a suggestion.
