But when you drive through a puddle you are A, Driving so your brakes should be hot! & B, when you wash your car, you stick a hosepipe through the spokes of your wheel to wash them! Leave the car standing after washing it and the brake surfaces will rust and after a week or 12 without driving it and you may have some issues! |

I just started mine (no problem) and drove it back and forth on the drive. Being as most RRs are auto and I have a level drive I pretty much always just leave it in Park and have no trouble with sticking brakes. Geoff |

Mine ran fine today after ~2.5 weeks, which is pretty much it's usual duty cycle as it normally gets used every other weekend, but was only a fairly short journey so won't have completely charged the battery.

All ordered last night and should be with me on Thursday! Yep, I had exactly the same thinking - if buying an expensive CTEK, I thought I might as well buy the 10 amp one, so I can have as a power supply when using the IID as well. Will hopefully last a good few years. Once it arrives and I've had a play with it, will see if I want any extra quick connect leads for other cars/boats. I assume like others on here I'll probably put a quick connect on the L322. |

The CTEK MXS-10 arrived yesterday, pretty quick delivery from Amazon in the current climate.
