Charging tails - simonm - 21-02-13

Curious.....


I've purchased one of these:

I'm wondering if I wire up a plug to a battery charger if this will trickle charge using the socket as a power input rather than an output ?


Or should I get something like the following:

I'm worried about water ingress in to the connector, but with my new heated grips, usb plugs and alarm I want to keep the battery topped up.

It will work either way. No need to get another connector if you need to!

Try and get a connector with a cap that snaps back, it will help with water ingress.
