Looking to fit an Anderson connector, to remove "lock-out" issues when battery flat.

Just wondering on peoples thoughts on location - especially those who have fitted one already.

Seems utterly self-defeating to fit it internally, and will most likely get ripped off if fitted underneath - so the logical placement seems to me to be in the nosecone with a suitable clip (think mini fire extinguisher-style clip)...

Thoughts gentlemen..?


Thanks,


Dom

I'm talking about the plug end...

I don't want the plug in the boot or in the car, because if I have a flat battery I won't be able to get to it - outside seems the logical location, just wondering if anyone has any suggestions or useful advice...

Thanks

Ah - now that IS a good idea...

I acquired a free Anderson plug, and thought I would attach it so that a breakdown lorry could just "plug in" in the event of a battery drain...

Front or rear - probably front in my case - would be the most accessible areas of the car thinking about the usual breakdown locations (parking bay, side of road, etc)...

Perhaps this is a better all-round option - utter simplicity... Good thinking there..!

As a huge point of laziness - where did you get the covered contact points from..?

Thanks,


Dom
