Car Battery Charger

[Road2Ruin]

Hi Chaps,

Any recommendations for a good quality car battery charger and conditioner with auto cut out. Will be attached for up to a month at a time and left so needs to do a good job.

Thanks in advance.

CTEK MXS, I've got a few here and know of a number of very high end dealers who also use them . . . .for example if you wander into William Loughran, they have all the cars connected to them

As an alternative to the above an Optimate, I've run one for the last 7 odd years for up to 6 months at a time, no issues and still going strong.

Aldi or Lidl reguarly have high quality chargers on sale for around £15.

My Dad bought one for his bike and it's been perfect, they come highly recommended on here.

I use one permanently plugged into a caravan on my drive, means I'm ready at the drop of a hat. I've never had a problem with the battery.

The aldi or lidl ones they are rebadged, and come with a 3 year warrenty. I believe the lidl one is the same as what u would get if you went into a certain german company that sells 911's.

Anyone seen one of the cheap Lidl/Aldi ones for sale recently, I was looking the other week and couldn't find one.

They were on "special" in Lidl a few weeks ago. I was in a week or so later and saw one "knocking about" in the basket, you may get lucky.
