To trickle charge or not?

[Rasta Pickles]

Hello,

Like a lot of the population, I've worked from home for the last twelve months and so have hardly used my vehicle.

I've been charging it using a regular charger once a month and everything seems fine; whenever I've taken it out for a spin, it's started up first time and hasn't missed a beat (it's in a garage not on the street so is sheltered from the elements).

My company have just informed me that I am free to work from home until 1st October at which point the arrangement will be reviewed.

I've just SORNed my motor but got thinking about charging it.

Would you recommend carrying on doing what I'm doing or is it better for the battery if I hook it up permanently to a trickle charger for the next six months?

Put a CTEK on it with your comfort connector of choice and leave it connected.

Use a battery maintainer rather than a charger, and leave it connected permanently if you can.

There are various ones with bluetooth monitoring that you can use to alert you if there are any problems. The one I use is Victron brand.

Buy a c-tek and be done with it. HTH!

I'd just disconnect battery
