Tetra-Teknica MotoBasics Series RHS-01 12V Ring Terminal Harness with Black Fused 2-Pin Quick Disconnect Plug, 2 Feet, 16 Gauge Copper Wire, 10A Fuse, 2 Per Pack

Please click here. The reason I bought this was to create a simpler online shopping experience I use the kit to charge and maintain my 12 volt battery while on the boat. The kit can be used anywhere you require periodic charging or maintenance of 12 volt These were necessary in order for me to charge my boat on land more easily. As I was charging the batteries under the dash, I was tired of crawling under there to attach the alligator clips. The ring terminals were just what I needed. They fit just right around my battery posts, and the SAE connectors make my solar panel and land-based charger easily accessible. Among the charging methods that I use this with is a solar charger, A Suaoki 60Watt system, and a charger called the Noco Genius G3500 smart charger. There is little difference between the two and the power provided by the batteries is pretty similar. Even with the solar charger in the daytime, the wall charger does not work at night when camping on the boat or at night when using the solar charger. Suaoki 60Watt Solar Charger for G3500
the Suaoki solar charger needs to be used with a solar charge controller, which poses a safety hazard. If the Suaoki is directly connected to the battery, one can overcharge the batteries resulting in premature failure. However, this has to be monitored to prevent premature failure. As part of this project, I am using the Instapark PWM charge controller. The controller offers perfect matching for The NOCO Genius uses proprietary connectors, and despite having a few different options, none of them had the ability to meet Now that I have the NOCO to SAE adapter, it works with the Solar charger interchangeably, and now it connects to a standard SAE plug. As a result, I added a SAE extension in order to increase flexibility in placing the solar panel or connecting the NOCO charger. Essentially, this is a 12V extension cord that can be used with any SAE to SAE cable as long as the gauge (AWG) is enough. If this cable is 15ft long, then the gauge should be at least 12AWG, but preferably 10AWG or even 8AWG. In this case, 16AWG or 14AWG will be suitable, however 12,10 or 8 will still give you the best results. The charging capacity will be significantly lessened for anything smaller than those maxiums, as any voltage drop will be significant. I've listed a couple of good alternatives below. The Kuncan 12ft SAE to SAE and MotoBasic 10AWG 3 Feet, 2 Per Pack
adapters used two ring terminal to SAE adapters, one for each battery, because the Aligator clamps were problematic and not very Having to climb into the compartment where the batteries are kept in the boat and almost always getting a good bump on the head is the result of the aligator clamps. There have been times when I awoke the next day to find one was missing. In addition to ensuring a secure connection to the battery, ring terminals provide me with the convenience of making connections and disconnections without bumping my head when I'm adjusting them. The Tetra-Dur is what I used A 16 gauge, 2 feet, 10A fused 2 pack from Teknica MotoBasics is what I used in I had to add a SAE Y adapter in order to charge the two batteries in parallel. This is the OptiMate Y-Scanner It was easy to use the splitter. While not charging, I disconnect the cable to prevent power from being accidentally pulled across the connection. If the boat is using a single battery, then the cable should be left untouched. This is something I need, but I am not able to find a diode that is permanent as I cannot take the risk of that happening. The system topped off my batteries between outings without a problem and keeps them topped off.

The 12V batteries on my boat need to be charged over the winter, but I don't want to spend an arm and a leg on charging systems for each. I have a trickle charger that can charge them all, but I can only charge one at a time. I was disconnected from the charging leads to each battery over the course of several months, and that was getting to be a major burden - I was spending too much time doing it. That has all been fixed by these harnesses. In order to be able to plug into the next battery when one battery is unplugged, I installed one on each battery. Since wing nuts are no longer necessary, I don't have to mess with them. My recommendation for indoor usage is highly positive for this product. As I do not use it outdoors, it is not suitable for usage there. The batteries I keep in my basement are on a shelf.

They are a must have in any emergency battery backup system. An extremely superior solution to the alligator clamps that are usually used to clip the terminals to the battery. It might be a good idea to include a set of 2 5/16"x1" bolts, 2 nuts, 4 flat washers, and 2 lock washers so the quick connect can be attached to the battery terminals without having to go CPAP backup and a 12V battery are options I have available. They are all interchangeable with my emergency generator and discharge battery. A few weeks ago, I bought another quick connect that I converted to the quick connect, so now I no longer use alligator clips for my CPAP connection. To make the quick connect work, I had to cut off the alligator clips from the CPAP unit and the terminal ends from the quick plug. After making sure the polarity was correct, I spliced the two together, soldered them, and taped them together. Now that I have a quick-connection CPAP rather than alligator clips, switching to battery in the event of a power outage at night is a lot easier and there is no worry about the connections popping off. Quick connect has been a great asset to me.

As a result, I prefer leaving it unattended over the winter months, and I require a fused pigtail for charging. There is a fuse on this charging pigtail! There are TWO packages in this package! As a result, I installed each one on When I get it back on the road in the spring, I will be ready.

I am very pleased with its quality. It's stiff compared to similar products from Shumaker and Battery Tender, and the only thing I don't like about it is that it cost so much more than what I paid. There are pros The following - *Quality* - Size of length
Adding an inline fuse* - The following are the cons of this item The following - Hard to bend.

purchased these not for their intended purpose of charging an automotive battery, but instead modified them to use with my children's Power-ups The wheel toy can be operated between 6V and Inline fuse box comes with wire gauge that is more than adequate for the little motors, and the fuse can be "upsized" to 20A (if there is an issue). With the help of my Auto 12V/6V automotive car battery charger with protection circuits instead of the included dump charger, I rewired the toy to be recharged with the SAE connector No matter whether you run them on 6V or 12V, it is faster and safer for the batteries.

Adding a waterproof cover to the outlet will also prevent moisture and corrosion. The outlet is protected by a fuse holder which comes with a quality fuse. As far as the plug itself goes, it is sturdy and reliable Connects to a wide range of accessories and provides a secure connection. I like the way the cover for the external plug is sturdy and protects it well strongly recommend this product to anyone looking to replace the battery on their motorcycle, snowmobile, or other vehicle with an external power source.
