Hey folks. I'm thinking of fabricating an external hookup for a battery charger so I can quickly connect a charger without running the charger wire into the boot. Why? In order to use the car alarm with out any warning beeps, the boot lid needs to be closed, and I don't want to force the boot lid closed against the charger wire.
The problem is, I'm using the OMAX-12A-1B Odyssey Ultimizer (smallest charger allowed for a PC925 battery). Normally I'd use the pigtail that came with my battery tender, however, it is rated only for 7.5A. I will need something along the lines of 15A for the Ultimizer. Can anyone recommend a weatherproof automotive power connecter that is compact, has some sort of cover, and is rated for 15A? I will need to be able to secure 14AWG wire to it (same gauge used on the Ultimizer)
I have a pretty trick (i.e., completely concealed) location in mind to mount the connector, I just need to source a good quality weatherproof connector.
I've shopped around various suppliers and have not yet found a good match for what I need.
Thanks for any help.
