Help Needed Trickle Chargers

[damianb]

Hi,

What does most of you guys do about keeping the battery fully charged when not using the vehicle much? I assume the best thing to do is buy a trickle charger if so where is best to buy from.

Cheers,

Damian.

Ctek chargers are very popular but I have a Halfords own brant one which does the job.

I use an Optimate which seems to do the job OK.

Optimate are pretty good, you can get one off ebay for about £30. worth running an easy access connection for easy plug in.

I agree Optimate are good you can get a variety of connections and wall brackets to suit your needs. I have a couple in my garage and have never had any problems with them over the years.
On the CS I have had to wire a connection to the battery as the 12v socket is not live without the ignition.

I have an Optimate on my 328 and it's great-no more flat batteries!!
