[QUOTE="dcarver, post: 435378, member: 956"] The Zumo 550 will charge its internal battery from your battery. Many have complained of flat bike batteries with a direct battery wired configuration. YMMV, but I personally wouldn't risk it. Obviously, if you remove the Zumo every night or when not riding for extended periods of time, or by keeping the Zumo 550's battery fully charged all the time, and by having a BHBB (big honkin' bike battery) you may get away with it. I ran mine through a switched source. I plan to install another switch that will 'hot wire' the zumo so that when I attempt another long distance ride I can simply leave the zumo powered up all the time. [/QUOTE]
