I like all the solutions to not opening the bonnet, but they all leave me open to someone walking up my drive and robbing the Ctek.

I think I will have to keep my current setup, it at least keeps my charger safe. I have never looked if I have tow electrics, could I plug it in and put the Ctek in the boot? Question


YOu could use tow electrics with ctek in the boot, but it would be

1) more expensive
2) 2 cables trapped in the boot rather than 1 with my picture
3) extra faf

What about a box that houses the ctek, connects to the tow electrics and chains to the car or something in your drive? What about extending the lead out the ctek so you could put it inside? Not sure how distance will effect charge though.

You can purchase a CTEK 2.5 metre extension lead, might give you the option of leaving the charger in the garage.
You could possibly join 2 extensions together but not sure what kind of amp drop you might get.
