Thanks for reply, couple of questions though:
What type of connector could have been used with the crocodile clips to start with? There must have been something or Orion wouldn't have supplied the charger with those on as standard, surely..???
Instead of cutting croc' clips off, could I make a sort of link wire, say about 5-10cm long, with bullets one end (with a gap of 5mm or so between end of bullet and start of heatshrink on the female) to be gripped by the crocs' and my chosen connector the other end??? If this is crazy, just say
Cheers
BB
