It was really quite straight forward. Just had to run new cables to the batteries which are supplied , the display plug is there and just plugs in. I left all the original cables in just in case I ever get the original fixed.
Mains cable is at the back bit again an extension is supplied.
I mounted the fraron on an aluminium plate the same size as the original charger base plate so it mounts using the original fixngs. Took a couple of hours to do. However I have done electronics as a job for a while so if you are not that confident may be worth seeing if someone can help local to you, where are you?

There is this one, which keeps the plug symbol and temperature sensor:

don't know anyone who's tried it though. Other than that, any charger that support gels, just be careful not to cut the thin red and black wires otherwise the fridge stops working.

Hi

Hi
Since I fitted my fraron my fridge stopped working !!!!

It will be related to the thin red and black wires not being connected. There is a thread on here somewhere with a similar issue.

Sorry been hibernating! Green light on when mains connected. I went for charging and 14.4 based on the voltage readings others get on their OE chargers .
