Hi mate

Same old thing with my back giving me a lot of grief, some of the pins have come loose and awaiting another surgery

Sorry as usual I digress Whistle

Here u go https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/QUICKLYNKS-BLE-...Sw32lYr~Uq

did first fit it on the main battery but found i couldn’t get a Bluetooth signal in doors , so fitted it in the boot where the 12s socket wiring is, gives a better range

I’m also going to fit a new switch panel in order I can install some battery gauges for both batteries

Blimey I need to get out more Rolling with laughter

Hope that helps

Ref the ctek , best thing I ever bought thks to the great recommendation from the members here

Fitted a charging point on the front of the house so when I park on the drive I just plug the lead into the 12s socket , ctek is in the hallway so can turn it on from there, saves me messing around with lifting bonnets

Got a fuse box inside the grey box as an extra precaution , bought 5m of trailer cable and made up the lead myself

Thanks for the info Gary. Sorry to hear about your back. I have a C-Tek too. It's charging the battery via the towing socket as I write. Nothing fancy like your setup though, just an outdoor extension lead and I put a box over the charger to keep it dry.

Ur welcome , thks mate , there going to see if they can inject medical cement to re secure the pin

Oh well could be worse and will find out what there going to finally do Laughing

Must admit the CTEK is the best charger I’ve ever owned plus so nice u don’t have to worry about over charging

As a side note , That monitor box will work on iPad and iPhone , u can adjust the alarms so can set it up when the battery gets to a certain level

If I can be of any further help as always plse feel free to give me a shout
