Battery Charging
Discussion
My Tuscan has been parked up in my fathers gargage for the past 8 weeks and now has a flat battery.
I have purchase a set of TVR Tuscan jump leads from Ebay - I take it the charging point is behing the drivers side front wheel? Does the steering need to be on full lock to get access???
Do I buy a standard battery charger from Halfords and attach the TVR jump leads to it?
Or am I better to buy a trickle charger and connect the jump leads to it instead??
I don't plan on really using the car until March anyway but I want the battery to be fully charged when I decide to take it out of hibernation.
Many Thanks

It's actually a bit behind the passenger front wheel & should have a plastic cap covering it.Does not matter where the steering is.

If the battery has been completely discharged it may be best to remove it & charge it up using a conventional charger, if the battery recovers sufficiently and the car is not going to be used get an accumate & connect that either to the Anderson connector or via the cigarette lighter.
