However my missus has come up with one point that kicks all of this 12v stuff into touch...................

How will her hair-drier and straighteners work

Hi daved, I have just read your thread from the beginning. If you have the white 12s socket fitted to your terrano then you will have a charger relay fitted. I only had the 12n but it easy to fit 12s. The relay is electronic it is just fed from the battery pos terminal via a fuse.
the 12s charger pin is only supplied when the engine is running infact there is a pause of some seconds before this supply starts. my caravan is an older one, I have caravan supplied from battery in van our I can switch to car battery use when cable is plugged in via the 12s socket, this is with the ign off, so you do have the use of two batteries. When the engine starts the caravan battery is charged along with the car battery and a supply to the fridge to keep it cool on the go. I have put a socket in the back of the car to supply my coolbox this supply come from the ign on supply to the 12s so I suppose I could connect this to a battery in the boot, this would mean that the alternator would be charging three batteries at once.... if connected whist towing so probably better to charge the spare battery when solo, or do as we do and always use electric hookup, some CLs have them. regards bri
