I have one of those 12 volt 1.5kw trickle charges for the patrol. Seeing as the patrol only gets used when going away it spends alot of time sitting at home. I'm wondering if i can permanently hook up the trickle charger at all so i dont have to set it up and pack it up everytime i park up.
cut the leads and put an anderson plug on it. then you leave the charger plugged in at home, and just plug the 12v into the trol when you park up. the anderson can be done so that it's pluggable without having to open the bonnet. you can even use a anderson extension lead to give extra reach.

My charger has an adapter that I can just leave bolted to the battery and all I do is plug the car in... easy!!!
i was thinking more along the lines of having the panel mounted on top of the dash cluster inbetween the windscreen and dash, cutting of the alligator clips soldering on some lugs and mounting to the battery terminals permanently.
Mine has alligator clips or 12 volt socket plugOriginally Posted by Bloodyaussie
My 12v charger has either alligator clips or the eyelets that can be left in place and just pull the joiner apart for when you want to drive, it's a motorcycle one that comes with both so very convenient if you have more then one vehicle it's just a matter of unplugging and swapping around.

Ghee do you really need it on the dash? Can't imagine why? Under the bonnet or under the passenger seat for the win but an Anderson plug would be the go for me

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.

Just finished doing exactly what you want to do. 50amp Anderson plug on top of bulbar.
Then ran the wires to the AUX battery via a 30amp circuit breaker, Took 10 mins.
I'm using my outlet as a 12v outlet for camp or a way to recharge my AUX via a solar panel

I really hope you mean you have a 1.5 amp charger and not 1.5 kw . but anyhow I would think it would be ok , although Cuppa would be the one to talk to on this one.
thats what i'm looking at doing. But do you have to unplug the charger?
Whats the go with this?
I'm looking to charge my starting battery not aux battery. I'm getting a solar panel to charge the aux battery when camping.
sorry yeh 1.5watt not 1.5kw.
