Dingus Posted August 10, 2016 Share Posted August 10, 2016 Hi folks. I just got myself an Electric Golf trolley ( Getting old ) that has a rechargeable battery. Normally you take the battery out and charge it in your house or garage etc. What I want to do is keep the golf trolley in my car and charge it in place. For a power point I intended running a cable from the power point that is under the front arm rest. What I'd like to know, is there a closer point I can run the cable from? Obviously this must power down when the ignition is off. Before anyone suggests I shouldn't as this might be dangerous. I'm an electronics engineer and know how to make this safe. The power requirements are 12v and 3A. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TrevC Posted August 11, 2016 Share Posted August 11, 2016 Hi Jon...welcome to the Club I wonder how many amps the boot light circuit could optimistically supply without compromising any wiring or fuses, etc. If not, I've used a cigar lighter extension lead (fused) to extend into the boot for a coolbox. Let us know how you get on Cheers, Trevor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dingus Posted August 11, 2016 Author Share Posted August 11, 2016 Thanks Trevor, but unfortunately the lights can stay on when the ignition is off. This could leed to discharge. I'll post a solution once, and if, I get one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
