Does anyone know if I can use a battery charger through my Grey 12s socket to the battery? Strange request, but i have a limited space on my driveway and cannot access my battery locker without the help of 3 people!

Cheers Sprocket, I am on about the van battery, the above thread gave me the idea to ask!

I cannot use the mains through the battery locker, as the van is tight against the wall, i was thinking , if i connected a battery charger to the grey12s on the van, i could charge the battery, as if it was on tow?

I have put a multi meter across all terminals on the vans 12s and cannot find a voltage (yes battery is connected)

Steve,

I would buy a 12s socket and use some two core wire connected to the corresponding pins & then use one of these to connect to the charger...

If you buy a 12s socket you wont be disturbing your 12s plug... & make sure its water proof....

Hope this helps

Sproket.

steve, you say yer van is tight against the wall. so is mine but i still fitted one of the adaptors that allow you to use an extension lead. i put the adaptor in the battery box and attached it to a short extension, closed the door and then slewed the nose of the van back into the wall. the short extension is about 5 feet and this allows me to access it from underneath the front of the van. been on there permanent for 4 weeks now, only a matter of switching on or off from garage socket to get power to van.
