What did you do to your Patrol today!

Fitted a small plug with a water proof inline fuse to plug the solar trickle charger. I used the plug's pair as a waterproof cap. The only thing I don't like about it is that the positive is the exposed pin.

I just brought this waterproof 50 amp anderson plug casing that might do that better,
even has a very small led to let you know you have power going to the plug

Only .1 Amps (100 mA) maximum, TD. That plug would be overkill. Wouldn't mind having a plug like that with an isolating switch and voltage spike protection, to use with jumper cables though.

my jumper leads cost $200 they weigh a ton and have spike protection

Why not just reverse the polarity on the plug to suit your needs??

I suppose I should as all of the connections from the vehicle are the same, which makes it easy to short out the battery or blow fuses on the sockets.

I used one of those trickle charge solar panels for a while , yes just on 1mili amp.
enough to keep the battery busy imo
Now I have a 20 watt panel to do the same thing.
