    Trickle charger

    hey folks,
    i for years have had trickle chargers on my motorcycles and i leave my tig for up to 4-5 days at a time, Im wondering can you use any of the 12v outlets to place a trickle charger on, or does the computer think some strange thing is happening?

    Also on that point of Flat batteries, as the tig has no key entry how do you get into a locked car with a flat battery??

    regards

    Phil

    You're about the 10th person I've seen make that mistake. I could just be rude and say "if all else fails read the instructions" but cos it's Friday I'll take it easy on you:

    There IS a key hole BUT it's covered with a little clip on cover at the end of the door handle. Open the cover and use the key OK

    Cheers

    And as for the trickle charger I would recommend CTEK, it comes with the connector that you can connect to the battery and you can just plug the connector from CTEK to charge and maintain your battery.
