I carry a cell phone just in case, sometimes the battery is not fully charged,so I adapted a female plug I had laying around, to plug into the H/D harness I use for my battery tender, now if I am out and my cell phone battery takes a sh*t I can plug my cell charger into the Sporty battery and make a call if I need it. I carry the plug in my tool bag.

Damn nice idea. Don't know why I didn't think of it. Another dity for the tool bag.

 

Smart as*!!

 

DIY - great idea. I need one of those and found it on the net - - you just saved me 15 bucks!! Thanks.

 

thomasf59,

GREAT idea! Is there a place where you can get a plug that fits the Battery Tender socket, or did you cut it off your Battery Tender and use a 12V DC male end on your Battery Tender that you plug into your homemade "pigtail" for charging?

 

brandy,

Where did you find it on the net?

 

Wasn't trying to be a smart a$$. I like the idea.

 

The battery tender usually comes with a couple of connector cables like the one shown. You have to splice on the cigarette lighter plug shown (from radio shack).

 

Another dity for the tool bag ehhh?????

I hope Samsonite makes tool bags, cause mine is getting dang full of widgets and trinkets!!!!!

 

The 2 prong plug I used I found at 3 different automotive parts houses, and a farm supply, I paided about $1.50 for the harness, its only 12 inches long.

Look in the trailer hitch and accessories isle.
