I should have twigged when me beer had icecubes in it

Why you need to be fancy about it? Run speaker wire across if you want, you only need 12V at a couple of amps if that.


Just check your charging system is OK to be safe, only a multimeter and 5 minutes job.

If in same situation again just stick the battery on charge for a few hours every fortnight and it will be fine.
