Mine won't be exposed. I have a long enough cable to run it into my tankbag.

I got home and my cig adapter was corroded the next day after all that rain. Need to disconnect the bat and clean it out with a wire brush, then throw some dielectric grease on it to keep it from corroding again. May have to buy a new one if I can't clean it up.

It was used for me because I forgot my USB cig adapter.
