Having come to 2 dead batteries at the weekend (my fault!) I want to make it easier to leave one or the other battery on charge when I leave the boat.
One is in the engine compartment and one in the outside locker. I want to set up permanent leads so that I can set up the charger from inside the main cabin.
I have an Accumate charger & 2 Optima batteries
I need to have longer leads but would rather make some up - as the Accumate extensions aren't quite long enough (and not so cheap)
Any ideas what wires I should get to make the leads up (I was just looking in Halfords today, and speaker wires look like they'd fit the bill, but is there any reason why not ?)
thanks
