I have a stupid question. I know it's stupid, because it seems impossible that I can't figure something simple out.
Yes, that's a common post for me. Deal with it.
I want to buy a Battery Tender for the new SxS. I like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-G750-UltraSafe-Battery-Charger/dp/B004LX3AS6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1432157294&sr=8-3&keywords=noco+genius
better than the normal Battery Tender Jr.
Not a problem. However..........I want to permanently mount/install the spade lug ended 'cable' to the battery post and put the other end, where the unit plugs into that cable, 'somewhere' easy to get to. This thing has a hood, like a car...and the battery is way under everything. So, I MIGHT need one of these:
http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-Genius-GC004-Extension-Cable/dp/B004LWV0GQ/ref=pd_bxgy_263_img_y
OK, that will work, no problems. I'll just dangle the loose end somewhere between the hood and body, I see a place to stick it. Should work. The extension is needed because the space between where it will stick out of the body and the battery is longer than the cord that comes with the unit.
THEN-------------- I see this thing:
http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-Genius-GCP1-Black-125V/dp/B009ANV81S/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1432157589&sr=8-7&keywords=noco+genius
It's made by the same company (they have all kinds of sizes of battery chargers, etc)........so I thought if I could install this in the dash (a 2" hole would have to be cut), it would sure be neater to plug in instead of dangling that little cord out of the hood somewhere. BUT.............that's where I'm lost. This is a MALE plug. The unit is a MALE plug!! No way to plug 'em together. So.......I thought I'd go to Lowe's and look for a female to female SHORT extension cord, and that'd fix it for the times I needed to plug in the charger. The don't make 'em!! Nowhere online either. Now, I can make one easy enough, with two female plugs (Lowe's was out, believe it or not!), but geez......you'd think that would be an item easy to find.
SO........am I looking at this wrong? If not, why can't I find a F-F adapter?
Thank you for your continued patience and assistance with one who is so needy!
