I attached a Battery Tender pigtail to the battery. This has a 7.5A replacable (somehow it did its job once) fuse inline. I then had a custom cable made by Powerlet Products that went from the tender's SAE plug to a mini-USB (with the appropriate inline circuitry). So, I just uncap the...

When I had to replace mine (for the same reason--over tightening the drain plug), I believe my cousin did use a gasket sealant when he put it back together. I'm not exactly sure what he used, though. I don't know if it's 'necessary,' but i think the idea was we might as well make sure it's sealed.
