Come on, RS, where are my caps?tonyw wrote: ↑Thu, 03 Sep 2020, 14:57 Heh. I found the plug (opposite the inlet hose from the inverter) and tried to remove it with a 6 mm Allen key. Nothing doing. Having broken an Allen key many years ago in the same circumstances (and still wearing the scar), I abandoned the attempt.
The plug and the inlet hose are at the same level anyway, so there is little benefit to be gained (unless there is a baffle between them).
I refitted the charger into the car this afternoon. It's only waiting for the new caps and I can add them while the charger is in the car. Installing it now means I won't be in a hurry to get it going later, and make mistakes.
I had to recharge the auxiliary 12 V battery yesterday, it was down to ~11.9 V. Now back up at 13.6. Still need a trip to Bunnings for some neutral-cure silicone.

The few things I bought from RS were delivered pronto, very happy.
Bought a number of other stuff for the battery project, already a fortnight and still waiting.
Any way, good to have been able to get the fuses and good luck with soldeing the caps back in. I did all that onboard, was glad I did not take the charger out.
