Trickle charger plug

[Andy Bernard]

You may need to be careful of the plug size - the Leads Direct site mentions the 15A plug which is much larger than the 2 / 3/ /5 A plug we seem to be talking about.

Thanks everybody for your help. The problem, as Andy points out, is that you can find quite easily the 15A plug, that is much larger than the one I need. Clarification on the BS-546 plugs can be found at BS 546 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia .

The 2A plug is the smaller of the three and it is the difficult one to find.

Dear Greg, you are right, as always: the instruction manual of the 409 states (pag.61) that "...the trickle charger socket....is to be used for an inspection lamp or for a trickle charger..."

I'll go on exploring the links that you kindly provided me.

Have a nice day,

Stefano

2A plugs are not hard to find here in UK. The Bristol's socket is the same as lighting circuits widely used today.

Thank you Sam,

your message was precious as you gave me the correct 'name' of those plugs, then the search was easy. Sometimes it's just a problem of the correct word!

I was able to check several stores at Amazon and found the 2A plugs. The tricky part was finding a shop that would ship those small plugs to Italy for less than £17, that was the price asked for P&P by the two shops I asked first! The one I chose will send me 2 of them (for 2 chargers) for £8, P&P included, quite reasonable. Thanks again,

Stefano
