Ford C-Max

Anyone towing a Ford C-Max Hybrid. We have trouble keeping it alive while towing. Have
followed the manufacturer's instructions, been to Ford dealership (2) and no one seems to
be able to help us. We can two for 6 hours, recharge and then go again. By the time we get
to destination (6 more hours) the car is dead. Cannot keep it charged.

    Add a 12v line from the tow vehicle to the positive of the towed vehicle, and if your connector is only a 4 pin, replace them with 7 pin connectors and you can also have a ground cable, that is how the towed vehicles batteries are charged while being towed, also place a 30 Amp fuse in line on the positive line.
