6. System negative

You can use a 4 section jack to play while charging the batteries. Just have 2 sections for DPDT pins 1 and 4, one section for 12VDC, and one for ground. Connect the last 2 to DPDT pins 3 and 6.

Just make sure that you don't flip the switch(to the system side) when you have the plug in.

Because then instead of sending power from the batteries(pins 2 and 5) to the system(pins 3 and 6), you would be feeding power into the batteries(which is fine if it's power from a charger, but that would be power straight from a wall adaptor).
