If you go to your local Radio Shack, you can buy a 555 timer chip for cheap (a few dollars) and a 12v relay. You may need one resistor too, so your total investment will be under $10. I did this on a previous bike and I may do it to my NC since it's fairly easy. Every time you turn off the bike, the socket power will stay on for whatever time you wish Depends on the resistor), Say, 45 minutes or so-then shut off. You'll have plenty of time to charge something, and never have to worry about running the battery down.
