Fab thanks for that , it’s really great .
I’ve been using a Ctec charger on my defender, I wired a fused tail lead from the batter to the back door for easy connection.
Guess what I’m doing this weekend.👍🤣

Any appetite for selling these again? Anyone know the connections for the 13 pin caravan plug?

[quote="M3DPO"]You have not got split charge, it is an aftermarket fit, but with SS you have two batteries, the second small battery will not be charged via the tow socket, do not let this put you off buying the tow bar socket adapter as it is absolutely indispensable for convenience.
A new charger will come with croc clips as standard, which can be used on the small battery without disconnecting it if needed, the small battery does not need topping up as often as the cranking battery. I use my tow bar adapter every week in winter once a month in summer, just plug it in and leave overnight, you cannot overcharge a battery no matter how long you leave it connected, a fully charged battery life is twice as long as a battery that is under charged and for this reason alone it is worth buying the adapter.
If the SS light comes on to say it is not available the small battery needs charging, is SS does not work with no warning light on the main battery is under charged, if the SS does not work after charging overnight the battery needs replacing.
Any of the chargers will do the job, the lower the amps the longer it takes to charge the battery, the 7amp is a good compromise, neither will overcharge regardless of how long they are connected even days. Thumbs Up[/quote

thanks

You need to edit that and re-instate the "]" at the end of long they are connected even days. Thumbs Up[/quote !!

You only got a 2nd battery if you had stop/start ... which all (?) the later cars had but, as you have a HSE, itr's possible (IIRC) you have it.

Happy to be corrected if wrong. (has been known Rolling with laughter )
