Good Afternoon all
Apologies if this topic has already been covered a million times before, unfortunately haven't been able to find the answers yet :-)
I have a retro-fitted Zig Marque 1, leisure battery, Mains hook-up on my folding camper. Everything works fine so far, and I can run the fridge from the 12V Car supply whilst I am towing using Pins 6 & 7 of the 12S Plug (fridge hasn't overheated and burnt the camper down so far).
How should I wire things so that I can charge the battery whilst towing ? Is it simply a case of taking a lead from Pins 2 & 3 of the 12S Plug ? and if so is it simply a case of connecting to the battery terminals ?
Does the relay within the car deal with the charging, such that the car battery isn't drained and the charging only takes place whilst the engine is running ?
Sorry if these seem basic questions, but would rather ask now and be safe, than be sorry.
Thanks for your help
