Default Battery plugs, etc.

I got male and female bulkhead connectors at a local electronics shop.
Don't need to remove batteries as I did before installing the bulkhead
connector. With the power pole connectors, I'd have to address each battery
intependently.

The down side is that, to go on the road, as when we went to NV for the
ground launch weekend, I made an adaptor cable so I could remove my 14v
battery for charging in the hotel. Turns out that I have so much capacity,
that I didn't need to remove any batteries.

McMaster Carr is great, though pricey. I used them for miniature gas struts
for the front door of my LAK trailer. Saved about $250 over ordering from
Europe.
