[nsa]

Looks new, any good? £50 is a bit pricey.

Unless you regularly leave your lights on and flatten the battery then I wouldn't have thought it was worth it.

Some irriot will buy it, I can put my hand on my heart, and say I have never ever had a flat battery from leaving lights on.

But of course if you get out, lock door, dont bother to check, then get one. Same sort of people me thinks who park with 5mm of tyre on the edge of the kerb...........

So being a bit forgetfull occaisionaly means you drive like a mong?

Was thinking more about for cars left in garages for a couple of weeks. This would have saved me £££ in ruined batteries over the years.

Better off getting an Optimate or Ctek, as they wiill charge amd monitor the battery so it doesn't go flat. They can be got for less than £50.

Yup - C-Tek or Accumate is the way to go for that price.If you want cheap then Lidl do them occasionally.

+1 for C-Tek. Have had it for years and its an excellent product. Just bought this last year as i needed another. top product. http://www.theultimatefinish.co.uk/ctek/multi-xs40...

Yes in my humble opinion, shows lack of awareness, competency as a driver is not only pointing the vehicle and stamping on the go faster pedel. Amazing how many cars you see drive out of supermarket car parks at nights with out lights, lack of awarness again me thinks. At least they won't get a flat battery

As I said, it will appeal to some.

Loads of things, but never to turn the car lights off

Yes I get your drift though.
