Anyone got any recommendations for a trickle charger which is nice and safe and easy to connect especially considering where the battery is on the Sag. Thanks

I have used an Accumate for more than 10 years on my Tuscan's, connected via the Anderson connector , although some people prefer to use the cigarette lighter adaptor. The CTEK is also good.

I have a CTEK 4003 I think it is, brought for about £60 from Demon Tweeks Direct, its simplicity itself to use. Brought an Anderson Connector from Ebay for under £10, works very nicely. Does seem strange though plugging in a big Anderson Connector with two tiny wires to the CTEK.

Accumate through the cigarette lighter - quick, easy, and it just works.

I have the CTEK Multi XS 3600, very pleased, but got fed up with having to connect it to the Anderson connector via jump leads so had the battery leads that come with the CTEK added to my battery at last service, so I have Anderson for jump starting and the CTEK connector at the side for trickle charging. This is better than using the cigarette lighter for me as the TVR lives outside under a cover - no need to remove the cover to charge!

I have my CTEK wired into the rear boot light, i thin thats where it was fitted by RG, and its bloody perfect. Just plug it in, close the boot lid and sod off till you need to start the Sag again! Just leave it on when ya finished with ya Sag and leave for as long as you want and just let the CTEK do all the work! Next time you go to start the Sag the battery is full and ready. Brilliant and easy!

Thanks Guys.
Got the CTEK XS3600's in the end and a cigarette ligter attachment. Cost about £50.
Probably not the cheapest option but seems to do the job!!
Why I didnt get it at the beginning of the winter rather than the end god only knows!!!
