Battery Tender Charger installed Hella Continental DIN Socket

[zevk]

My latest farkle:

The location a 12v plug loose under the side of the seat annoyed me, so...

I purchased a Hella Type/Continental DIN socket from ebay uk

www.towzatronics.co.uk

8.95 GBP ($10.00 aud )

I installed the socket onto the black Battery cover, Right side of bike.  The connections are blade type, I added in line fuse and heat shrunk red/black all areas for insullation and

cable tied to other components so no rubbing / chaffing.

The male plug i added onto the original plug charger and now this can double as booster cable for other bikes cars if I ever get a flat battery or need to assist others.   

works well and the socket cover fits snugly to avoid dust and moisture.

Those sockets are readily available in Jaycar/repco etc also known as BMW sockets

Yep they are...but not 10 AUD for socket and plug and they are  cheap quality....

They are also known as a Merit plug, Narva make them too 

They were all the rave when cig plugs were not so reliable....maker a nice finish to a job if its a low amp installation.....for higher amp, dirty environment and vibration it's hard to go past an Anderson plug

You did well.  The rate today for £8.95 returns AUD16.23

Great to have a firm, tidy installation.
