Allll righty then,
Son bought an 'intelligent' charger for his MoHo cab battery, (yes a split will be fitted when he has time) no probs there... we say.
He has a permanent live auxiliary plug (cigar lighter) in the dash, so all OK there also.....
He then reads the battery charging section in the Fiat handbook and it states, 'before charging the battery ensure that it is disconnected - negative lead is removed - as charging a connected battery could damage the ECU'.:Confused:
If, the battery is disconnected, as in the handbook, then the auxiliary plug is now disconnected - so won't charge.......:Angry:
What the fox and the pigs can be done about this (other than disconnecting the negative battery cable and wiring the auxilery plug's negative onto the negative pole direct?????
Does everyone disconnect the cab battery to charge it?
