I don't suppose anyone has one of these going spare to save me the trouble of making one?

TIA

Thanks I appreciate that, but I'd rather make one than pay £20 - £30 for a pair of croc clips and a plug.

Thank you - that's much cheaper than the ones I've found.

I guess you know that this is the least efficient way to charge a battery from a generator. Generally lucky to average a handful of amps into the battery so it takes hours (days) to achieve much.

A lot more efficient to run a mains charger from the mains plug and so get 20 amps into the battery.

I do yes, but if the generator is running anyway it's still 8 amps available to my spare battery while the on-board charger takes care of the others.

Agree. I'm away at present in the lakes. By this morning my third day without moving batteries getting low.
Put my Honda EU20i onto the motorhome, batteries now charged up and also charged up my iPad, iPhone and used the microwave to defrost my black bean Chinese.
