Title: Battery Tender Charger installed Hella Continental DIN Socket
Post by: zevk on August 11, 2014, 09:35:41 PM
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 (http://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.  :thumbs

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  :like

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

Great to have a firm, tidy installation.     ++
