Power Point timeout

Any way to set power points to not shut off? Can't charge battery for my grease gun. Did a quick search and didn't find any thing. Thanks.

You can change it in Forscan at least on the ‘17. I haven’t seen a way in truck settings. I also haven’t read the manual cover to cover.

If you have upfitter switches, you can set it so that 5 and 6 are hot all the time, then wire in your charger to one of those switches.
Of course you then run the risk of running the batteries down to the point they won't start the truck.

5 & 6 switches are used already. Our shop mechanic is looking into Forescan, so I guess I'll just charge them at home. You'd think with all the tech on these trucks that they would just isolate one battery or maybe monitor voltage so they could be live all day. Thanks for your replies.
