Hi guys managed to get a Bentley battery conditioner just because it was on eBay and I was bored at 2am ha ha
But can't for the life of me work out what's missing .the lead comes with a screw type fitting not one that slots into the 12v cigarette lighter and it has 2 pins .I guess I need some kind of adapter .I just presumed it would screw on to something connecting the battery,I guess I'm missing a part .

 

Lol ... Yah your missing the male end, plug with 2 holes & a thread then you can push them together & screw the part in your hand to the other peace ...

Example:

 

To make it easy to use in the boot, get a male cigarette lighter adapter with pigtails. Cut off the old ends of the charger. Solder and shrink tube the joints of the charger loose ends to the pigtail cigarette lighter adapter. Pay attention to the polarity so the charger plugs into the terminal in the boot properly.

 

Unless Im totally confused how does he unplug the charger when not in use, draw a diagram for the chap ...

 

I was thinking that's the part that goes to the car. Perhaps I'm confused since electrical outlets are different in Europe then here USA.🤔😉🙄

 

Here is a photograph: cut the end off the maintainer to adapt to the boot charge port using a male cigarette adapter. Hope this helps.

 

Lol ... Sorry mate I was only asking what your plan was re chopping & soldering thats all, yes correct even the UK is different from the rest of the EU.
He has purchased a plug but it seems only 1 part of it, he's missing the other end, what I don't understand is you want him to fit a cigarette light adaptor, thats where I'm getting confused, sorry maybe its me (getting old)
Also he's only showing the plug & not the rest of the cable ...

 

Oh now I get it the taping looks a bit doggy.
All depends on the charger what cable to use & a cigarette adaptor can be easily pulled apart, its not the safest way, there are lots of 12v 30A plugs around like ebay for a few pounds that lock together, as shown in my example pic ...

 

They're soldered with shrink tube inside the tape job. Didn't have large shrink tubing at the time to put over everything. That'll be our secret. Most of the time I'm detail-oriented, getting older has its advantages.

 

Yah we all done it from time to time as long as its safe & works mate ...
I wonder if British got his car back, he's had a lot of work carried out on the car, wonder if the BenHur got sorted be good to know what failed & why ...
Oh getting old yah I suppose it does in one way it comes around to quick tho ...

 

You're not missing anything. Some cars had a receptacle for this that it could plug into and on the left side of the trunk.

I have that same charger and there's a receptacle for it just ahead of the battery. Can post a photo if you would like.

If you have a cig-lighter there, you might be able to wire up the Female receptacle for this.

 

Here's where it plugs in....

 

And the part.... JNV998131A

stupid prices though

 

Damn those prices are stupid high. He’s better off cutting that end off and putting the cigarette lighter male end on it.

Yoghurtshotgun, don’t your car already have the female side to the cigarette lighter part in it?

 

Yep! I second 1eapplebaum and TeamJones suggestion at those prices.
