Battery charging through cigarette lighter

[beast]

Dear all,

need to start thinking about obtaining charger before the Ice-age returneth to my (rather exposed) garage.

Forget connecting wires all over the shop - can someone please advise which charger is best through the lighter - as this side conveniantly lines up with a plug in the wall - and where to obtain.

Optimate or Accumate - either thru Leven or your TVR dealer

I,ve bought an Airflow battery conditioner with the Cigarette lighter adapter 39.99 from Unicorn 01963 363353. It was here the next day.

Just bought a conditioner with fag lighter bit for £36.25 inc VAT & P&P from Bush Batteries (020 8360 3099) - arrived next day.

Accumate from Leven (with extension lead)works like a dream

'Airflow' into cig socket. Works perfectly.

Just one word of caution - they can't keep batteries alive for ever. From my experience, you get less warning once the battery is dying - ie the car starts as normal from the garage but expires when you next try to start it, invariably some miles away!

drive it in the rain and snow... much more fun than driving in the sun

Have you tried driving with a full bladder as well, or whilst sitting on a lego brick? Maybe put some grit in your contact lenses for real discomfort...!
