Hi All - can anyone tell me if the above on a T350 will be usable to trickle charge the cars battery? The guide for the CTEK that I'm looking to buy states that the lighter point must permanently live. I am looking to purchase one as the charger I have only has terminal clips.
Cheers
Steve

I used one through the lighter socket on my old T350 and it worked fine.

Test if your fag lighter is permanently live by pressing it in (whilst the keys are out of the ignition) - if it works (gets hot), it's live

Cheers mate - too early for me - should have thought of that myself lol.
Anyway got red hot in seconds so will go ahead and order the charger.
Thanks
