I've never actually used a charger on the Freelander, but generally I must admit that I ignore such instructions and clip directly to the battery - much more convenient. |

black to either chassis or battery neg. if you want a permanent connection buy a new ctek eye cable not too pricey some people fit the connection in the boot for simplicity, its all one here somewhere

You can clip the negative connector directly to the battery, it will work perfectly fine.

I use an adapter that connects through my 13-pin trailer socket. Don't even need to open the bonnet. 😊 10MY (Sept 09) TD4 HSE Auto in Stornoway Grey (Now Gone)

Thanks all. It'd be on the driveway, so bonnet wouldn't be open. Is that still such a concern, especially if the eyelet connectors were being used in the same way?

Yes, thanks for that. I've got one like that in my Amazon basket at the moment. Just need to measure up the battery terminals to find the right eyelet size.

I bought the adaptor to plug into accessory socket in the boot and charge mine overnight on the drive with no problems. The boot closed easily over the cable which ran under garage door to socket in garage.

I have a 50amp Anderson plug wired at the battery (with rubber cover) for my compressor which if necessary would use the connector to charge the battery. Procrastination, mankind's greatest labour saving device!
