IEC plugs on Batterys

[jbond]

Would it make a difference if the gender of the plug was reversed? A female lead into the charger and a female socket on the battery.

Yes that would probably work. There's still a risk of shorting the charger output even with the shrouded IEC connectors, however, you would hope that modern controllers have some sort of short circuit protection built in.....

Something I have been saying for a long time. a circuit breaker or residual currant device.
As with so many things these days its treating the symptom and not the cause.
I hope the eng. lit. police will excuse any errors as I was dyslectic before it was even invented.

We're not that picky Skip! The only thing that annoys me is when someone never punctuates since it can make it difficult to understand what they mean. They know when they pause in speech, so they also know where full stops should go, making their lack of punctuation just lazy and discourteous to others trying to read their questions and make sense of them.
