Read evidence and context

Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Having not used the car for a few weeks, the battery had drained sufficiently so that I couldn't start the car. I put it on the charger/optimser overnight and all good So, I thought I'd install an easy access charge point like on the bike (instead of croc clips on the battery terminals) - see attached pix (excuse the dirty car and messy garage in the background...)

POST 2Original post

Are you aware you can also simply plug into the cigarette lighter to charge battery? I cut off an old lighter plug from a no longer used device.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I wasn't sure how effective the ciggie lighter chargers were..... hence, I went for the battery terminal option

POST 4Original post

Works a treat. Remember, it's very low current. I store my car over the winter and keep it plugged into maintainer this way all winter. In fact, if you buy the Porsche charger, this is how it plugs in.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
