My (rented) garage has lighting but no power. To run all the power tools I run an extension lead over from the flat, which means that the cable runs across the tarmac apron between the flat and the garage, but it's only for the periods I am actually working so it's fine.
I am now going to clear the garage out so I can put the new car in there- the car which has been wired for a trickle charger.
Can I use the lighting power in some fashion which is safe to run 12v into the car via a trickle charger so it stays topped up and happy, or will this burn the car to the axles and leave the entire row of garages as a terrifying memory in the minds of the local fire crews?
I'm not paying to run power to a garage that isn't mine, and indeed is owned by total cunts.
