Default Waterproof Electrical Connector

I want to have a waterproof connector under my seat to plug the tyre inflater in to. Also one to replace the one that comes with the Optimate, because it is pants.

So I'd probably just have the one connector from the battery, and change the connectors on the inflater and Optimate so that I could switch between them.

Does anyone know where I can get some?

Fit a cigarette lighter, then get the corresponding socket for the optimate

You can buy optimate's accessory socket but i don't think it works as a cigarette lighter...if your a smoker that is

..and you can use it to charge your phone

And plug in a sat nav system. Why spend £400 on a tomtom rider when you can get the Tomtom one for £200 and keep it in the top of your tank bag. Seen a few couriers using them plugged into a ciggy lighter.

Yeh I thought about that but is it really watertight? I don't want live terminals open to the elements.

I've put mine under the pillion seat so it's not out in the elements but if i was going to use it for sav nav etc, i'd buy the optimate's accessory socket which is weather proof.......apparently
