I have TWO cellink pro’s in my car and they’ve always performed without fail (since 2017).
These batteries were in me E-CLASS, with which I had an accident and car was totalled.
So for over 6 months the batteries were at my house without being charged and this “killed” the capacity somewhat.
But the batteries still work in my NEW car (also an E-class), albeit with lower capacity .
However, the fuses on BOTH batteries keep blowing and I have no idea why .
(once, both even even started to melt before blowing!)
They are installed exactly in the same way as my previous car:
piggybacked on the cigar lighter fuse, with 15 amp fuses.
The celllink pro can be set to 10/12 /15 amp and I always have it on 12.
The ONLY difference with my old & new car is that I have a hybrid now and often drive pure electric (only on battery).
Could this have something to do with it ?
Or did the old batteries get defective and for some reason draw too much power ?
