Extra wire connectors

with the best option (option 3), do you think the on/off switch will prevent battery drain when not in use? i am thinking to install one, but want to go with an option that does not drain the battery when the ignition is off.
I checked the current draw when it’s switched off and the draw is non-zero:

OFF 0.03mA
ON 18.9mA (no load)

This isn’t enough to be a cause of concern re: battery drain. When the switch is off there is no power to the USB ports which is important.

For some reason they have gone with a non-standard square SAE connector instead of round which is a tight fit if your SAE battery charging adapter is one of the weatherproof variety from Optima. Battery Tender isn’t an issue.

Anyway, with a voltage readout (which is accurate) and USB-A and USB-C ports this is a nice unit.

Could a USB ended cigarette lighter for my mini compressor for pumping the tyres up, be used or would that be too much current?

Check the label on your compressor.

The charging leads are often 18AWG stranded wire with 7.5A fuse.

I am having a protracted 'blonde' moment.
WTF ing hell is the connector called that plugs into the white accessories block. The Optimate 100 USB thingy I bought doesn't plug straight in.
Clearly it's a male ended connector that's needed but can't find.
 
give me a couple of weeks ill get a nice plug and play setup for high current devices and or fuse box for you guys
 
So how do you put this thing in dealer mode? I need to reset the service light.
I have a couple of products if yo dint wsnt to paper clip the connector

Spend the extra money and get a code reader. I had a bunch of poop to chase down to clear without it, ordered the code reader, cleared everything and was finished in about 3 minutes.
