Hi

I have the same Lidl one. Can you show a picture of how you put the AM plug onto it?

Thanks

Just had a look, i actually opened the plug , 1 small pozi screw, and soldered the wires to the pins, it would of been simpler to just join the wires with crimp or block connectors, have a look at the pic it will show you which pins the wires go to , red is positive, red black neg, if you get it wrong the charger will just come up with a polarity error message
