Battery charging
Discussion
I've just got a quick question that hopefuly someone can help me with.
I keep going away for several weeks at a time, and want to keep the batteries on my MG B charged. I have a 12volt charger / battery level maintainer for use on another car - will this work if plugged across the two 6 volt batteries, or have I missed a fairly crucial point?
many thanks

Yes, provided you do as you suggest ~ plug across the two 6 volts batteries in series.
Had several MGBs over the years ~ the batteries and their location was the one thing about the cars I did not like. Mind you, away from the heat and vibration of the engine, they did tend to last longer down there behind the seats.

Funny thing is ~ forty odd years ago I bought an analogue Crypton battery charger for use on my MGBs and Motorcycles. I never used the 6 volt facility on the charger, always switched to 12 volts....
It is still in my garage and it works just as well today as the day I got it. It charges well and when the battery is near the mark, settles to a steady low trickle charge.
Nothing lasts forever, but this good old boy is making a good fist of it.
