Tried out battery charger plugged into 12v socket but it blows the 15 amp fuse on the leisure battery I,ve checked the polarity of the connections they are ok also the charger runs the sat system and the tv no problem, perhaps it,s some form of initial power surge into the battery, anybody got any ideas, thanks for previous help guys.

Only thing I can suggest is to connect the charger directly to the battery without going through the vehicle's fuse. It can then only blow its own fuse, and if it does, the charger itself must be faulty.

Thanks Moonshine I,ll try connecting to the battery direct, I,m just curious as to why the big fuse of 15A blows I wonder if the split charge system may be part of the reason very strange.

I have a 110 ah liesure battery which is a free standing unit. Ie in a box with sockets for 12v and 800 w invertor attached to it. When in the Bongo I plug it into the rear cigar lighter. It keeps the unit charged and when I stop powers all the auxilliary circuits, radio etc.

Simple cheap and economic as you dont have to haul round unwanted wieght when not camping.
