  • Anderson plug charging question

    Hi all

    I have a Piranha dual battery system on my prado which was installed by the previous owner.. Next to my tow bar is a Anderson plug that i can only assume was used to power the offroad van the car used to haul around. I have tried to follow the wires and see how it is connected but not able to.

    The question is, what would happen if i were to plug a battery charger into the anderson plug? Would it charge the batteries? We have anderson plug chargers at work (for our work cars...redarc systems) and was thinking of putting the car on it for the day to top up the batteries.

    Any advice before i create a disaster?
    Cheers

    Hi Jarrad,
    Can you measure any voltage on the Anderson plug . If so does it go up when you start the motor ? If both of these are yes then it sounds like the plug's connected to the batt and alternator .

    I WOULD NOT connect that connector to an external batt charger as there's a risk of damaging electrical stuff on the car ,

    Cheers

      The Anderson connector will be connected to a Battery, but may have an isolator in between.

      If no isolator it will charge fine, if there is an isolator it won't charge, but it also won't damage the isolator.

      The only way it can cause damage is if the anderson connector is wired some very wierd way, but very unlikely, and probably wouldn't work well running a van.

      Have a look around the 2 batteries and see if you can find the same wires as going into anderson connector.

      If the anderson connector is connected directly to the battery (or via a fuse), there is no difference connecting the charger to the connector or straight onto the battery.
