Trickle Charger for Tuscan 2

[D1ckie]

Wont be using the Tuscan much now as the weather gets worse, so need to know which is the best trickle charger to get, why and where from?

Thanks

My choice would be the Accumate, worked on my Chim and Tuscan no problems.

IIRC Leven sell them.

Accumate and for ease of use, the cigar lighter adapter.

Do you mean it charges through the cigar lighter???

[Big Al.]

He does.

I do. You can get them on ebay slightly cheaper than Leven, although I'd rather buy from Leven, as I know there will be know no problems with returns etc. Having said that, I've only had one accumate fail on me in 10+ years; and I've got about 8 of them for the cars in my showroom.

I was running a solar charger (no mains) through the cigar lighter, however I found it very easy to blow the fuse if you are not carful when pulling the adaptor out. Might have just been the style of adaptor.

Over the winter we are going to relocate the anderson connector to the passanger foot well to A) stop it getting full of crap and B) making it a lot easier to get to.

An interesting idea. The useful thing about having the Anderson outside is if the battery is dead and the doors won't open, you don't have to use the secret way to get in, to get power. What about siting it under the service bonnet some how?

That might be an idea. Perhaps around the washer bottle area.

Good point on the doors not opening it was a little bit of a squeeze the last time I tried to get in with no power....plus it was tiping it down!
