Install a female connector obtained from an arc welding cable. Secure it in place with adel clamps and sleeve it with shrink to insulate same from firewall. Obtain it from a welder supply store. Carry the male end in your console glove box. You now can plug in the plug and attach a battery charger, jumper cables or trickle charger as I do to keep the battery topped off while in the hanger. About 400 ma should do the trick. Remove plug before flying. I connect the trickle to the plug and lower clamp on one exhaust extension. Bob Smiley N94JR
