Trickle Chargers through the Ciggy Lighter

Recommended Posts

The car is often left 3 or 4 days without being used and my car cam is permanently wired with a voltage checker on it (turns it off if the volts in the battery drop too much).

 

To maintain the charge in the battery and keep my camera running - has anyone used the above ?

 

recommend a product ?

 

things to do / not to do ?

 

Also noted that the ciggy lighter must be permanent live (I haven't checked this yet)

I use the Carcoon battery conditioner made to manage the battery and run the carcoon if neccessary. You have a permanent connection onto the battery and a connector for easy connecting/disconnecting.

Mine sits over winter with no issues.

bugger - no power to the ciggy lighter when all switched off...........thats the easy solution unavailable

 

the CTEK has a permanent connection available, which means having the bonnet popped every time I want to connect/disconnect
