hello,and happy new year to you all, now. is there anything i can buy to charge a 2nd battery whilst driving along, as i want to have one for any emerganceys, something thet stops the charge when the battery is full and wont give any rebound on the first battery, i was thinking of placeing 2nd battery where the aintilock braking thing goes, as this is just a blank space but will fit a spare battery, thank you.

Split charger relays kits are available. Halfords e-bay etc should have em!

I can't really see the point in having a 2nd battery connected up...unless you were going to have a fridge in the boot to cool cans of beer down.

Only trouble with putting the 4 pots on is you have to have 16 inch rims obviously with the tyres...so conversion gets pricey...not sure if you can space the 15 inch wheels out to clear calipers or not....I know you can buy bigger brakes but they are not the same has those fitted to the 160

This is a advert from mgfmania ..Knutsford. .cheshire..but I don't know if they are going to make enough difference...cash in the pocket is easy to get rid of these days without a lot showing for it.

Been meaning to make a little kit up myself...got tons of tools..but got to make up a suitable size kit...was looking for a nice box to fit in where the factory kit fits in the boot recess.
Saw this mgf with twin battery boxes.
