Dual battery charging via a C.Tech charger
(Preview)
I have a dual battery system. I have only used the C. Tech charger on a single battery. Do I have to plug into and charge each individual battery, or can I just connect to one battery and the unit will then charge both batteries??? Jay&Dee

Mitsubishi Pajero

Are there any issues with using a Pajero (not the Pajero Sport) as a tow vehicle? The spare wheel sticks out a far way and I'm wondering if there would be an issue with the rear door being opened with a van attached to the vehicle.
