Hi,

Sitting here with a slightly delayed weekend. frown

If anyone knows the secret of gaining access to a T350 when the battery is too flat to open the doors please send me a PM with the solution.

TIA.

Another option is to bodge a connection into that funny charging socket. Wild guess would be to stick two screwdrivers in, but does anyone know which is the negative?

Hiya,
I'd appreciate some advice on this too if poss. Not had flat battery yet (touch wood) but no doubt have one in the future. I've worked out how to get bonnet open but no idea about the doors if I needed to!

Thanks, Rich.

Same here, i don't want to get stranded in the new Tam (if this is transferable to the Tamorea model that is!) smile

Although, i am looking at picking up a tricklecharger...

Sorry to resurrect this one but I am stuck with the same problem so if someone who knows how to get round this can email me the answer I would be grateful. I do not have a charger that fits the charging ports under the car by the way as I have never had an issue with the battery before.......just been away for a month and so its not been driven for about 6 weeks now :-(

Thanks guys.

Just as an aside If you have a normal battery charger without the Anderson connector You can still use it by clipping the crocodile clips directly up into the undercar socket. Left slot is positive(red) right slot is neg(black)
