My battery, in a LNC-2, will be on the aft face of the firewall, but getting to it to connect a battery minder will be no easy chore. A recepticle to match the battery minder so I can just plug it in and forget about it would be wonderful. Has anyone done this? If so, how did you do it? The connectors on the battery tender I bought from Aircraft Spruce have some rather odd shaped ends. I suppose I could cut them off an install more "standard" connectors, but I'm not sure that is a good idea. Comments anyone? Thanks, Doug Waddingham Denver, CO
