Accessory plug?

12V lighter socket type plug?

I can do, happy to be asked to make up any variation on the theme.

I have done Anderson plugs, an ignition switched version and a version for crocodile clip equipped charger, etc etc.

12S or 13 pin version and for various charger types.

You will need a permanently powered socket for that to work, or if the socket is ignition switched, find the relay which switches it on and bridge the terminals with a link wire to make it permanent.

It is, however, why I don't make a CTEK to cigar plug adapter

I haven't tested them yet but I've been led to beleive that the socket in the boot is a permanent live.

I'll let you know when I test it!

Yes Martin, a lighter plug It would appear that there is a live one in all the ffrr's, the one in the boot, although if your car is of BMW origin then any socket will work, provided that the fuse is intact I just thought that it would be a cheaper option for those who don't tow with there Range Rovers ( I thought that was what they were made for, but it appears that I may have been mislead and contrary to popular belief, a towbar is an option and not standard equipment had to pick myself up after that one ) Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

Can I ask what's the ctec fly lead? I currently have a ctec charging the RR but it's just connected under the bonnet to the battery. 2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography

I assume you are using the crocodile clips?

Yep, the crocodile clips but sometimes they pop off and the lead to ctec is not quite long enough. Also yesterday I noticed what looked like condensation in the small lights on the charger. 2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography

I now have a perfect solution...

One these in to the socket in the boot.

And one of these to extend the lead

The maintainer I'm using is one of these..

The extension cable just pops out the boot between the upper and lower parts and I connect it to the charger which is outside the vehicle.

Hope that helps.

I have a CTEK 5.0 with+/- cable permanently fixed to the battery terminals. This is rolled up and stored in the battery box when not in use. Simply pull out and connect to an extension lead of the Ctek - simples. regularly leave on charge all week as only use the fatty at weekends.  405 AB exec seats Baltic and Cirrus

ajac8 does Pete know you got a thing going on with fatty? Only I fear that he might get the hump if he finds out your with his ffrr

wilwak, Have you spoken to Martin about that lead? I think he'll probably do you a better deal, and from what I understand he makes them, so you could get the exact length that you require  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Mine is maintained inside a garage so I don't have that risk.

If you're worried about sabotage then maybe place the charger unit inside the boot and have the mains cable trailing out the boot? I've done that in the past.

The problem is that some of the latest ctek chargers have quite chunky mains cables. The older ones had thin ones.

Surely it's easy enough to add an inline fuse ?

I'm not exactly worried as such, area is nice enough but I have a hard time trusting the human race 😁 2004 RR 4.4 V8 Autobiography
