My extension lead running from the garage to the car would be a dead giveaway for me.

My simple Solution
I use a similar charger every now and again to top up my battery when I get the low power message. My solution was to use the chargers supplied ‘Cigarette Plug’ adaptor that I would plug into the always on socket in the rear boot space and leave on overnight.
Works a treat with no need to adapt any on the cars wiring or add anything extra to the car.

Another way to connect it is if you have a tow-bar supplementary 12S socket fitted then the CTEK can be connected to pin 2 the blue 12v battery charging terminal or on the 13 pin Euro socket it can be connected to pin 9 the green/orange or purple permanent live

It’s perfect as you don’t have to get a connector into the car risking damage and could charge a flat battery that’s locked you out! Works for vehciles kept out side too shame check don’t make a 12S or 13pina dapter? Or do they? These guys do! https://www.disco3.co.uk/shop/tow-el...e-etc-p45.html And these https://www.mobilecentre.co.uk/index...oducts_id=1226 Last edited by HDAV; Jan 1st, 2018 at 20:46. |

You beat me to the link on the Disco 3 forum. Martin who sells them is a top bloke and easy to deal with. Or you could make up your own for a few pounds
EDIT. Just checked, you can buy a 12s plug for around £4.00 or a 13 pin plug for around £6.50 and 5 minutes work with a screwdriver a pair of pliers and make your own Last edited by 4x4; Jan 1st, 2018 at 20:50. |

So you don’t have the rear cargo 12v socket in the rear compartment then - which in both our models was ‘always on’?
