Battery Charger

[Cmac]

I need to borrow you'lls expertise for a few minutes.
I recently bought an on-board battery charger, the problem is I have nowhere to permanently install so it reaches both batteries, unless I install it upside down, but I had an idea & wanted to know if you'll think is might work.
The only spot to install right side up is beside the trolling battery & Its about 3-4 inches shy of the main battery from being able to connect to it.

I thought about getting some cabinet hardware specifically the hardware for the pull out drawers(just like the regular kitchen drawers with tracks) the ones that have the 2 tracks the drawers runs on.
I was going to install in the spot where it is 3-4 inches shy, but with this drawer hardware/tracks I could just slide it out when I needed to charge & the slide it back into place when done charging.

Does this sound like it would work, Ican picture it in my head but wanted opinions as you'll might have an easier solution than what i have come up with far.

Please advise & as always I appreciate all of you'lls help greatly

Can't you get some extensions for the pos. and neg cables , or replace with longer ones? just an idea

[Rebbasser]

I agree with JB on this one, Cmac-it seems to me it would be a whole lot easier to get some cables to extend long enough to reach your battery. You can get them most anyplace that handles batteries. I think I have seen them from 6 inches up.

See I new I was posting for a reason That NEVER even crossed my mind

I think I will go get some longer cables

Thanks a bunch now I am going fishing went yesterday & caught some pretty good crappie.

Man I have the worlds worst habit of ALWAYS going to the hardest fix and forgetting to look at the easy way to fix. Had that habit all my life.LOL Anyway get you some longer cables easy fix and on another note you can mount those chargers in any position. They will work. Thats the only way I am gonna be able to mount a onboard charger in my laser when I get er done. Just barley enough room for the 3 batteries, tank, pumps and charger.

Yeah I dont know why but I always see the difficult way to do things instead of the easy way. I cant believe I didnt think of longer cables
I really appreicate you'lls help.
