Cigar socket battery chargers

[GT TVR]

thanks Vpower.
I'm just worried that a faulty charger fries my battery, wiring or whatever.
I going to test the charger on another battery so see what it does.

Are you sure it won't hurt to leave it, even if the green light doesn't come on?

BTW how is Grizzly these days?

Very good thank you Gerjo ! I had a wonderful driving tour to the South of France last year and I just keep enjoying it! Mind you, as you may have noticed from my profile, he has been joined by a rather older companion!

Aston looks fantastic!!

I tested the Optimate with another battery and it went to green in 24h, so the charger is fine; I'll connect it to the Tuscan again.

Simon I used an accumate and cigar adaptor for 4 years before you got the car so I'd get one of those if I was you. In fact I never did bother using the permanent battery wire because the cigar adaptor was so convenient. I would have thrown in it with the car if you hadn't driven such a hard deal! Hope you are enjoying the T350.

For some mysterious reason the Optimate is working fine now, thanks guys.

I've just ordered two of those solar trickle chargers off ebay.

I had to leave my daily driver at work for 3 days, and had to jump start it once I cleaned off the 10 inches of snow.

So thought I'd see if a trickle charger would keep it topped up enough to make the little green ball reappear on the battery??
