Wiring in an extra cigar lighter socket
dave_2A_2.25Turbo:
Even a mini fridge will flatten a battery in a relatively short space of time though
thermidorthelobster:
Yeah, the one in the 101 was a nightmare if you left it on.
Steven:
Well is there any way of getting around this some how? Of course we wouldn't keep it on over night but maybe for hour or two with engine off:?
thermidorthelobster:
Twin batteries and a split charge would be ideal. I'm sure you could wire in a switch which would disconnect the fridge when the voltage dropped, but i suspect by the time the switch sensed the voltage drop, the battery would be too low to restart the engine.
The easiest thing is probably to carry one of those little jump-start batteries :roll:
Steven:
Thanks for your time people :)
