For AC and hacc81 - another better solution is to put the battery tender leads with the flat plug-in connector on to the battery, then get a plug-in lead with the socket on the other end to use when you want. That way you can always hook up the charger when you need that, or if you don't want the socket, or in addition to the socket, you connect another plug with a lead directly to whatever else you want. Those connectors are available in any auto parts store and are very cheap. Don't forget the inline fuse near the battery on the + side.
