Trickle charge through tow bar plug

Did a search in here but couldn't find anything conclusive; is there a wiring diagram (or even a pre built cable) for those who've done the trickle charge-via-tow-bar socket? 2011 4.4 TDV8 Vogue SE - 'Black Betty'

Shame I cannot get any connectors for my NOCO because it's the 15000.

They only sell the connectors for the smaller ones. NOCO don't sell them either Christian.

Can’t you get one and change for your needs?

Aren’t there just 2 wires used for this?

Or is there something more clever going on…..

I've made one up using a connector and some flex, on the charger end I have used two bolts through a piece of wood as power posts to connect the croc clips up.

My NOCO has a huge connector in the middle of the charge leads as it has a 20 amp boost charge so I cannot get a spare connector to wire it in properly just using connectors.

the CTEK I had before had a much smaller connector plug so that would have been easier but I needed to buy the NOCO to charge my M4 up (lack of use) as it has a Li-Ion battery and requires a specific charger Christian.

I just use a ctec charger via a 10a fuse the a 13 pin trailer plug and it works fine .. i plug it in if the RR is not going out for a couple of days also keeps the battery toped up so the FBH works when it gets cold enough for it to be needed . 2012 Black 4.4 TDV8
