    Hi all,,

    Heading over to Moreton at the end of the month and have a waeico. I have not yey rigged the deep cycle set up yet. but i dont want the fridge near the car anyway, but the question i ask. is it ok to leave the ignition on while im on the barge and at camp to play the radio. when i had a suzzy petrol i was told not to do this as it would burn out the points is it ok to leave the ignition on in my 02 defender

    thanks s alot

    you could leave it on accessories.....but i wouldnt be leaving the ignition on......
    it will flatten your battery.....as it powers up all the circuitry associated with running the engine.....
    such as the ecu...fuel pump...all the sensors....fans.....etc....

    I don't inderstand why you need to have the ignition on - what about the accessory position?

    Ignition on will definitely flatten the battery
