[Shop-talk] Trying to find a battery connector to fit thru a bulkhead

[Kurt Oblinger]

I can picture exactly what you mean but I haven't a clue what it is 
called either. Big help that is, eh. But I do recall that when I worked 
in a warehouse in my college days those plugs were used to connect the 
electric forklifts to the chargers. So maybe a forklift parts house 
could have it.

Cheers,
Kurt Oblinger
