I've looked at Powerlets and was puzzled by one thing. I'd guess the
battery needs to be wired with the female socket. But that means the
charger has to have a male plug with (apparently) live, bare contacts
swinging in the breeze.

Have I missed something? Are you just really careful people? Or do you
blow up a lot of chargers?

The PowerPole connectors snap together to make a single connector of
any width you wish. Looks like you can also build NxM array connectors
for a single plug for the whole panel, though they are a bit bigger
than a Molex.

They fit (almost - need to enlarge the hole ever so slightly) in the
same round DIN holes as the german power plugs. Kinda looks like a
good quality cigarette lighter plug. Just replaced the charging jacks
on my ASH-26E with these.

Thanks to "Bumper" for this one.
