RE. ultimate trickle charger?

[RIP james]

Hi there thinking of fitting a trickle charger to my tuscan .Whots the best place to fit this is it in boot and hows the best way to wire it in and run it,as i had one in my chimmera boot which was already fitted when i brought it.Any advice please.colin.

I still think an accumate via the ciggy lighter is the best option... I've an Anderson lead for the Tuscan and its a pig to plug it in and my Chim has a built in Accumate in the boot and thats a pain... I drove off once with it still plugged in

Fitted an accumate which plugs in via connection plug terminating next to oil filler (check oil after a run and plug in accumate then). Wired direct to battery through sleeving and in line fuse to avoid possible short) Check battery and battery cables while you`re in there!
Car came with solar charger when I bought it which the previous owner always used but now garaged so no good for me.

Did the same thing with my chim, snapped the extention cable I was using in half...

Out of interest where is the best place to get an accumate, as left the one in my chim when I sold it?

Try Leven Technology in Essex.

I have an Accumate plugged in through ciggie lighter and been using it for 6 years. It is superb. Just started my Tuscan on first turn of starter after being laid up for more than 4 months!!

Highly recommended.

Just noticed that the Basildon Essex site of Leven has been closed. They were bought by another company that is continuing the business. The updated website gives all the details.
