melt. What's a good off-the-shelf solution which doesn't take up much
room? The whole ciggie plug thing is the dumbest convention ever, I
must say. I can't believe it's still extant.

I agree with robobass, I cannot believe that this retardation is
allowed to flourish in the 21st century.

Go to Walmart and buy a Trolling Motor connector. Its a simple 2 wire
heavy connector and costs about $9 for the matching pair.
