Hello everyone! Firstly a big thank you to everyone, I have been lurking for a while digesting info before my purchase. I just picked up my first Ferrari, a 2016 F12... Right now it’s so addictive I’m driving it every day, however I soon have some travels and will need to leave it for 10 days. The car will be outside about 10m from a socket, so is it ok to run an extension cable from my socket into the boot then have the charger in the boot plugged in? I will need to keep the car locked. Many thanks Sent from my iPhone using FerrariChat.com mobile app
If it's anything like my Cali, this should be OK. This is what I do. Although I leave the charger outside the car (it's in a little waterproof box, like you'd use for storing clothes - see pic below). Also, since it our house is old, I plug the tender into a surge protector then into the house power...T Image Unavailable, Please Login
Many of the CTEK (OEM supplier) tenders are "water resistant". But I wouldn't want to test this. If possible I would rather not leave it inside the vehicle, just incase something happens. I think you will be OK running an extension cord, so long as its in good condition. I like the idea of using a plastic casing for it, so long as there is enough air for any cooling it needs.
