Does anyone know if Amphenol do a 2 in to 1 Radlok cable so that you can add in a standalone AC battery charger to a DC hybrid inverter set up so that the batteries can be charged overnight off cheap rate grid power in the winter when the day time DC system isnt at its best ?

Could you not use a normal lead for you battery and plug it into the extra battery terminal like if you were linking batteries together?

Hi AGT,

Yes I could rig up two spare leads and spade the ends to connect to the charger as a further option which would probably be much neater, in my "buzzing" mind I think I thought that I would ned those for additional batteries but theres always going to be a spare + and - isnt there :facepalm:

I really need to work on getting more sleep..........

That’s the thing with engineering more than one way to get the same result so long as you are happy that’s all that matters!

True but I should have seen the obvious before I started devising solutions-thanks you saved me the effort this time around but it’s useful to know that you can get bus bars in the radlock format
