I'm guessing you have a lawnmower no longer in use, good excuse to get out of that chore

A few weeks after I bought my car [12 months ago] my battery failed and after joining this forum I realised that the battery needed to be in tip top condition to stop all sorts of problems happening.

I really like the idea of the notice left on the drivers seat - CAR ON CHARGE. A long time ago I reversed out of the garage taking the cable and charger with me! I'm older now and not rushing about like I used to, but with age care is still needed.

Good idea. My caravan has a similar set up on the roof. Hope you legs heals quickly. |

MagCode is what I installed under the bonnet. I had to install it on the driver side (LHD) because I park on the right side of my garage. Just needed some heavier wires to cross the engine compartment to the battery. Works perfect. I connect the ctek mx5 only if I have a long weekend (3 or 4 days) because of the extended use of seat- steering wheel heater und FBH during the week and short 15km drive to work. |

Hi, my smart charger is wired permanently in the boot, its left plugged into the aux 12v cigar socket also in the boot, upon getting home I pull out the 5 ft mains cable the charger has and plug it into the weatherproof mains box mounted on house, external wall adjacent to the drive,takes seconds. I can't forget to unplug it before leaving as I have to step over cable. 2008 L322 Vogue 3.6 TDV8 in Java Black with parchment and Navy interior. 125000mls.
