Hangar???
The idea with USB extension cable looks not so bad. I was searching for ideas on
this forum and found this thread. The point is - I have a similar problem. And
the thing about cable can work.

I'm wiring one of my first connectors, a 4-wire molex from wingtip light back to
the wiring conduit and ultimately a faston tab on a panel switch. Is there
a standard for which side is male and which female?
The radios tend to come with female plugs, so I thought to extend that: everything
that points either to center line or the panel is male. But is there a standard
practice? And is there a FAQ on best practices? Did I miss the relevant
section in the book? Thanks for the ongoing help - I'll be paying it forward!

When connectors are taken apart, there should not be exposed hot contacts
that could short out. So I connect hot power wires to the female half of connectors.

| Subject: | TypeS Lithium Jump starter |
I was considering including a Ground Power Jack (Z-31A or B) in my RV with a fuel
injected engine.
After watching a fella use a TypeS Lithium Jump Starter.(12v with up to 8k mAh,
350A peak current) to jump start a GMC SUV, I wonder about its application to
my RV. It is very light weight and measures 7x3x1"; marketed as "Safe Jumper
Cable protects against polarity, over-discharge, low voltage, reverse charging,
short-circuit, overheat, spark-proof, and timing out."
I wonder if I could have two terminals (maybe an ANL block) in the cockpit area,
one wired to the battery/firewall ground and the other to the battery contactor
(bat side), forgoing the ground power contactor? The 4 AWG wire length less
than 2 ft. As needed the jumper cables from the TypeS could be applied internally
in flight or on the ground. With this "smart" device, would it be safe
to have these fat wires in the cabin and without circuit protection?
My thought is to have it available (especially on trip to isolated airstrips) as
needed for jump start and possibly use as inflight backup battery???
My electrical system will be single battery & alternator with an E Buss.
Does any of this make sense?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Frank

A battery does not necessarily need protecting with a fuse. But the pilot
should have the means to shut off all sources of electrical power at the source.

I've seen come 'conventions' but they tend to
be institutional . . . I usually try to
put male pins in the cable plug and female
on the black box. You're more likely to damage
a male pin and they're a LOT easier to fix
on the end of a wire bundle . . . sometimes
impossible on a radio. But for pins out on
a cable run . . . take your pick.

Hi Preston;
Plug goes with what's removable (wing).
Receptacle goes with what's stationary (fuselage).
You get the idea.
Cheers! Stu.
