I've looked at Powerlets and was puzzled by one thing. I'd guess the
battery needs to be wired with the female socket. But that means the
charger has to have a male plug with (apparently) live, bare contacts
swinging in the breeze.


I suppose. But the design of the plug makes it a bit difficult to
complete a circuit. I will also have short piece of vinyl tube as a
cap for the plug to protect it from the elements and inadvertent
shorting.
