![]() Early on, we wrote about the pitfalls of a dead battery. This wiring includes an in-line fuse holder that should be located as close to the battery as possible.Ī second in-line fuse is provided and is optional for the install. The picture of the wiring & sleeve sitting on the GT4 wing will give you an idea of how much is provided and how far it might reach. We also include about 9-feet of braided cable loom that will make the install look nice-no one likes loose wires floating around. This should be enough to install the 12v receiver at any rearward location. We include about 9-feet of insulated wiring. We suggest a discrete location under the rear bumper or diffuser-ideally, you will pick a spot that is visually hidden & safe but also easily accessible. The receiver does require a rather large hole for mounting (see pictures for dimensions) or your own custom made mounting panel if you don’t want to cut a hole-it just depends on where you want to install the receiver. The second benefit of this system are the isolated external contacts on the receiver-without the connector or the presence of a magnet, power is disconnected from the visible electrical contacts-this means that there is virtually no chance of accidentally shorting the system. If someone trips over the battery charger cable or drives away with the charger still connected, the plug & jack connection will quickly separate with no damage. If you have an Apple MacBook, the action is similar to your MagSafe power cable-it connects & disconnects very easily. First, the connector is quickly aligned to the receptacle and held in place by magnets-connection is a simple one-handed operation, even with the cover installed. The magnetic 12V receiver is the beauty of this system and provides two benefits. (We have assembled many custom cables-if you have a wish for a custom length or anything else, let us know and we’ll try to make it.) The cable from your charger does not need to be cut or modified in any way, and may still be used with other cars without the easily disconnected adapter. We intend for this adapter to remain connected to your charger’s main cable for ease of use. The adapter cable includes a magnetic 12V connector and a matched plug specifically for either the Battery Tender, CTEK, or NOCO Genius battery chargers (if you have another brand, please email us and we can probably build an adapter cable specifically for your low-amperage charger). Our Solution: We have assembled a kit that includes all the parts needed for a quick connect/disconnect connector & protected exterior receptacle. Without power, the only way to open the tailgate is by using the manual cable release which is known to be delicate and prone to failure. Even with a pigtail or lead-cable pre-installed, it usually involves opening the trunk, finding the wire, using two hands to connect the charger, and then gently lowering the tailgate and keeping the it ajar so it doesn’t pinch the wires.Ī worse scenario is getting to your car and finding a dead battery. The Problem: Evora battery maintenance is problematic for a number of reasons. For Battery Tender, CTEK, & NOCO Genius chargers! ![]()
