Do Fuses of Honda CR-V Need to Still be Pulled When Flat Towing if Battery Charger is Used
Question:
Hi, Im installing a battery charger that will charge my car battery from my RV. My 2012 Honda CRV manual says I need to remove 2 fuses and I noticed you have a switch to accomplish the same thing. My question is, do I need to remove or disconnect these fuses if I have the battery charger?......thanks......

Yes, even with the battery charger installed when you are flat-towing your 2012 Honda CR-V you would still want the fuses removed. The charger will help keep the battery in good shape but the with the fuses left installed the battery would still end up depleted. The battery charger would just basically slow down the process slightly but it would not totally be able to keep up.
