Default Battery charger mains socket

Harry Bloomfield verbally sodomised in
:

Dave Plowman (News) expressed precisely :
Lidl are selling those automatic chargers that revert to a maintenance
charge and can be left on indefinitely, for only 13 quid. It's small
and has fixing holes in the case. I was considering fitting one
permanently to the old Rover, and having a mains inlet point somewhere
on the outside of the car. The question is what would be a suitable
weatherproof connector for this as the car lives outside? About IEC
size would be ideal.


The blue round plugs and sockets as normally fitted for caravan use
would be best. 13 amp plug, length of cable with a blue socket on the
end, then a matching blue plug on the charger.

I would also suggest the 13amp socket is one protected by an RCD. I
would also suggest that the charger is NOT installed under the bonnet
where spray from rain can get at it - perhaps in the cabin charging via
the lighter socket or similar?


Wake me up, before you post post.
