Quick Connect for Extra Batteries in truck bed?
Looking for recommendations for power connections for extra batteries in my truck bed?
I have carried 2 extra batteries in bed of truck for years now to power my inverter for 110 AC power for my CPAP. Have just run cables out thru one of the "basement" side hatches to connect. While this works, it is way past time to replace this "make shift" solution. I really like the absolute separation from the "house" system batteries, so neither system can drain the other by mistake.
I am thinking of something like the twist locks often used on marine shore power systems, but think there must be something made for 12 volt systems other than the classic cigarette lighter style plug/socket set. The ones I have seen so far just don't seem like they would take the load.
Also know i have seen threads about adding extra batteries in truck bed, but I am not coming up with the right search terms to find them. Suggestions both for plug in connections and search terms for thread or links?
Thanks.
