nothing really mentioned on the 15 page thread on mounting the ctek dc-dc charger. Anyone got any photos of under the bonnet installation. Not sure if velcro would be strong enough to stick it to the top of the fuse box or if people have drilled and bolted it through the fuse box lid.

Spoke to redarc and they said I probably had a bad connection which built up resistance, causing heat build up and then a melt down. I only realised it as my fridge temp kept rising. I have now replaced the fuses on the red and brown wires with narva 30A circuit breakers as this is what my local autosparky suggested. Make sure you have spare fuses, electrical tape, etc handy as I had to do a bush mechanics job to get the fuse holder working again.

I do keep an allen key and roll of elec tape in the car in case i need to remove wires.
Plucka, mine certainly doesn't get too hot to touch, although I haven't drained the aux battery much so it has never had to work hard yet. Also, the charge light stays on after i turn of the car for while, suppose its just until the main battery voltage drops of a bit.
