DOLPHIN portable charger: can it stay outside when unused?
Put the portable charging lead away in a cool, dry place when you have finished using it. The DOLPHIN handbook gives that storage instruction for the Mode 2 lead with a household plug and control box; it does not approve leaving it permanently exposed to rain and sun. A permanently installed wallbox is different equipment, with its own installation and weather instructions.
