Yeah, that's a good one to get, and probably about the right price.

It will come with a lead which you can strip and terminate onto your anderson lead, or just attach to it with crocdile clips. Possibly a neater option is to get one from e.g. Leven http://www.leventechnology.co.uk/index.htm

Cheers,

easiest to get the cigarette adaptor lead and plug it in via that, you can still run the lead through the window as it closes with no damage and saves grovelling around on the floor.

I had a trickle charger when I bought my Tuscan and in over three years have never used it. The car has never been left for more than about two weeks without being used which I am sure helps, but the cable in the boot is a flipping pain when I am trying to get golf clubs out etc. it never stays where it's put and I'm not even sure it works.

I suppose it depends how often you plan to use your car.

Witey, thanks will get the cig adapter as recommended, the car will be next to the wall so trying to get under the wheel arch would potentially be impossible

Don't forget that if your battery is flat you won't be able to get into it at all (unless you know the special secret way !)
