Hi All

Usual flat battery woes again today. I was planning to make up a lead and connect an accumulate charger via the jump start plug. Reason being the car sits outside the garage and I have never liked the idea of jamming the cable through the door rubbers, can anyone see a problem with this plan providing it is all waterproofed ok ?

Use the Andersen connector under the car on your Accumate.

I use to the the Anderson connector, TMS made this up for me when I bought my first Tuscan:-



Although now I use the Accumate extension lead and cigarette lighter/accessory socket, I was also concerned about the door seals, but no issues what so ever.
