hi there daz,  i found a thread that say you run a lead out to your van every night to charge your pump box battery, do you leave it over night or just a few hours
cheers

[dazmond]

yep mate.i run an extension lead out of my letterbox and into the back of the van and charge the battery every night.takes 2 mins.i use a halfords smart charger(about £40 i think)had it a few years now.

 just ordered a ctek charger & the pump box how long do you usually have to leave it on charge

[dazmond]

i leave it charging all night simon normally but its usually showing a full charge after around 3 hours.

Simon,

Your charge will auto stop charging once the battery is fully charged, I've been using a Ctek for 5 yrs.

right cheers lads, i have to park my van at the opposite side of the street to my house, but  i could probably leave it on the pavement for a few hours to avoid taking the pump box out every night

i park my van right outside my flat on the drive so no problem but i wouldnt run an extension lead across the other side of the street every night.you could easily take the battery out and charge it inside or fit a split charge relay.

i dont think i do enough miles for a split charger, i meant park on the pavement outside my house for a few hrs to charge it then move the van, but all this is cos the pump box sounds heavy, if i find it easy to lift then i'll probably just take it in
