malc d Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 How about a small solar charger in the car. The kind of thing they sell on Maplins ? :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vicwo Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 Very rare does my buddy come into operation unless I brake suddenly. Have you looked at the weight settings on the buddy? Steady braking should help or have your car battery checked and alterator. My Smart car battery is never any different after a month touring south of France from Yorkshire.

Ranger Posted April 8, 2009 Share Posted April 8, 2009 If you tow a caravan the towing vehicle charges the caravan battery so why not a towed car battery? I expect Clive will pass this way soon and tell us all about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 jdh Suggest you talk to TOWtal about this. It sounds like something that may have happened to other Brake-Buddy users and, consequently, TOWtal may already have an answer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
