Best place to put an Anderson connector (Keep it clean!)

[BillC99]

I am going to fit an Anderson connector soon and wondered where the best place was to mount it?
As it is usually needed when the battery is flat I was thinking under the front of the car somewhere? Anyone done this?

In the front passenger footwell

In front of the radiator.
Or at least accessable if the batteries dead

That's where mine is going, although the battery is now in the boot I'll run the +ve from the starter motor and pick up an earth from the front of the chassis.

Its still bloomin dirty in the undertray (as well as wet!) You'd need to 'bag' it & I can't really see anywhere easily accessible that doesn't interfere with airflow to the rad OTTOMH?

Theres a nice flattish lip on the return from the underside of the undertray you might be able to easily reach?

Personally I'd stick the connector by the battery & just have low amp connector in the nose to enable the opening of doors (and trickle charging...)

I have the Leven kit fitted to mine which inlcudes a plug to stop crap getting inside it.

You can see the connector attached to the chassis rail in bottom right of the pic:



I also have the anderson connector for my accumate charger which I prefer to the cigarette lighter connector.

put mine in the passenger footwell......

If its out side the car a cap above like that packed with silicon grease will keep moisture out

Thanks for your suggestions. I think I,ll go for the under car at the front option. The kit I've ordered has a dust cap so if I cable tie a poly bag over the whole connector it should keep it dry.

I connected mine to the battery and then cut a slit in the glove bag, routed the cable so that the Anderson sits inside the glove bag/box under the dash and the cable goes directly to the battery.

This is out of sit and stays nice and clean.
