And what about driving through rain and winter slush? I don't think that open end is protected from the elements.

 

First picture 3rd & 4th has a Elasticated Water Proof Cap on End look closer ! 😎😎

Plus my car is not used in the Rain or Winter .

 

Cool! and the original from Dr Eddy/etyu

Battery Trickle Charger pre-wiring install

For our friends that have long winters or those who store their vehicles, who wish to have a battery trickle charger while the vehicle "hibernates", this thread is for you. I bought the Battery Tender Plus (r) Battery Charger this afternoon as I plan to trickle charge/condition the 12V car...

I cut the CTEK connectors off mine and added Tyco Superseal waterproof connectors. I made up a dummy male plug to seal off when CTEK not connected. There is also an inline fuse too.

Mine can easily be Disconnected in seconds towards battery area if req in case or safety req etc

 

Did it come as part of the package (cuz I didn't get one with my 4.3) and Mr google gives me nada?

You need to Extract it off the CTEK Charger battery connector leads assy 😉

I had a spare one i fitted from a clients Hybrid car .

 

came with my 4.3

 

Can't find the box but I've only used the alligator clips. I must have received the perm cx but darned if I can find it now. Oh well, my loss

 

If your desperate it can be purchased separately With eyelot / leads and end / cap £4.99

 

I added a 12 volt socket in the rear console cupboard. This is wired (fused) to the battery. Then the Ctek can be plugged in there. You will see the connected cable when you drive off. The socket is also handy for conceiled charging your phone when the car is parked. Ctek is mounted on the garage ceiling above the drivers door

And a switched socket for the TomTom in the glovebox while I was at it.
