10-4. Thanks for validating F87source ...I guess I can safely leave the 'o-ringed shaped' battery connectors naked without heat wrapping them.

BTW, purchasing the CTEK MUS7200 was a fantastic choice - cannot recommend this battery tender/charger any higher: about once/month, I plug in every one of my cars and top them off. Of course, I use the 'snow-flake' mode for the M2C, 'normal' mode for other cars.
