Hi I have always found the Acumate to be the best choice, very popular within the TVR fraternity.

It's a bit 'Light' on charge current (less than an amp?) and therefore a bit expensive (like accumateS?)!

This is better and about the same price, but up to 8 Amps when necessary and can be left connected 100% of the time? Here:http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_894769_langId_-1_categoryId_255205

You pays your money..........??

Just bought an MXS 5.0, the T version I think, £44.95 on Amazon daily deal.
Not used it yet.

I've got 3 x Accumates and they are all excellent been running for years or more on the TVR, Aston and Healey. I think the 8amp one shown earlier is a battery charger as opposed to an intelligent conditioner.

Both Aldi and Lidl do them on a regular basis for about £12. These are proper battery conditioners and chargers, as they cycle the battery voltage to prevent sulphate build up, and prevent gassing- I was sad enough to monitor the charge voltage for a few days the check the claims. The only down side Ive found is the units stop charging if the mains goes of for a moment, so you have to reset them.
