LB Charging

[dandemann8]

I was thinking of cutting the crocodile clips off my battery charger and replacing it with a 12v Ciggie plug, so the question is with the LB now connected to my rear 12v socket if I was to plug the charger in here would this charge my LB (charger plugged into 240v) I hope this make's sense

Indeed it would Ciggie lighter sockets not always the most secure connection though and you'd lose the use of the socket whilst charging the battery

Why not just run the leads through the bulkhead behind the glove box, big rubber grommet there, connect direct to battery but charge from inside, if it's the lidl type one or similar, unscrew the croc clips & you've got a couple of nice ring connectors there to connect to the battery securely. That way you can charge from inside, just plug it in, select mode & off you go

If the charger output is more than 10 amps (which a discharged LB would EASILY draw, you'd end up frying the puny wires!
