I'm thinking of building in one of those Lidl battery chargers in the old
car. So it can be left on float when not in use. The mains lead on those
is only two core and the case plastic. I was considering a Buccaneer
weather proof mains connector mounted in the body below the rear bumper.
Should the car body be connected to mains earth?


I can go for several months without driving my car, but I do have a good
battery in it (and a solar plug in the cigarette lighter charger). I
just don't have problems

I've got a fairly high quiescent draw on it - lots of extra junk fitted.
