CTEK SMARTPASS 120S and 250SE DC to DC charger basic features and install information

Hi,

This probably has more relevance to Australian owners.

I had the 250SE installed as part of an electrical upgrade from the dealer which went smoothly. It was additionally done with a Redarc tow pack for brake adjustments to any trailer.

They did an alteration to the plug at the back which now has the usual Australian style 7/13 flat trailer plug set up as well as the 2 Andersen plugs for an external output and external solar input.

I am very happy with the result.

I have also "Christened" the back bash plate coming off some rocks on Fraser Island!

Thanks for the info, I will therefore wait before buying the 250SE.

But I got the connection plates for free after "insisting" a little bit. They seem to be used ones, but I don't mind.

On the other hand, after insisting a lot, I got also, through my dealer, an answer concerning the behavior of the Smartpass. I used the argument solar panel, but my question was: "What is the technical difference between the CTEK Smartpass in the Grenadier and a Standard CTEK Smartpass?", therefore the answer I got was not really related to my question:

Again a very "non informative" answer!

I don’t know if warranty rules are different in Aus, but if an authorized IG dealer does an aftermarket install, there is no issue(s) with the warranty, correct?

As I understand it, the dealer has to warranty the work they do, however that doesn’t mean it is covered by the INEOS warranty and it also doesn’t necessarily mean that INEOS can’t deny a warranty claim if they can make the case the work led to a fault, it would then be between you and the dealer. (Disclaimer: not a lawyer, not legal advice.)

Hmm.....

Reading the pictures posted by @Ineos4 in this post it looks like Ineos have a recall to remove the "consumer" connection post on the the Smartpass (Ineos Recall 3 on the third Photo).

It will be interesting to see what they do when an owners has already connected an accessory to the outlet.

Cheers

@DaveB, those are some crazy MadMax bullbars on those pictured vehicles. Is that for Roos? I guess front suspensions don’t last very long in those vehicles?

Hallo zusammen, ich weiß nicht, ob es bereits von DCPU oder Jean Mercier gepostet wurde? Gibt es Anweisungen zum Aufdecken der Abdeckungen unter den Rücksitzen, um die Zusatzbatterie zu entfernen? Ich möchte morgen den ARB-Kompressor installieren. Wie sehen diese Teile aus, siehe Foto? Danke im Voraus, Barney
