Honda CR-V charge line May 11, 2024, 12:06:02 pm Our 2002 Honda CRV is getting tired and we're looking for another tow vehicle.When considering the newer Honda CRVs (up to the year 2014 of course) do they also need a battery charge line installed?I ran one for our 2002 to keep the battery charged while towing.

The small engine battery is one of the common complaints owers have about it, regardless of if it's towed. Rich 1 Likes

I didn't need it, as long as I had a jump-starter and trickle charger handy.Then I found a hidden fuse blown.
