    Since it has the on/off switch can you also connect a battery charger? Was a battery charger part of the delivery for this MY?

    A battery charger was an option, but I honestly much rather hook a pigtail directly to the battery where I can hook it up without opening anything. And that's exactly what I did when replacing a wet-cell battery (like stock) that leaked during transit with an AGM (or gel). Took some effort to route an extension cable thru the windshield wiper hose hole on the passenger side of the hood, but finally succeeded. That was exactly where I wanted the connector (under the hood on the left side), and now I can connect the charger in a second, without having to open anything. And looks factory. Good luck.

    Many owners (including me) have wired pigtails to the battery leads located in the panel behind the driver's seat, so the plug just sits unobtrusively on the floor. Half hour job and nice neat solution.
