AM Battery conditioners

[brakedwell]

I see Aston Martin have switched from Ctek to Manson and are asking £225 for a Manson conditioner/charger which can be bought for £34.99 from Caravan and Leisure. That is one hell of a mark up for an Aston logo and a 3 pin plug!

Probably most are sold at the time a new car is being specified.
Reality does not apply at such an exciting time.

Looking at your photograph, is the car socket no longer a 'cigar lighter' type?

The DB9 has a 3 pin socket. The cigar lighter type is the same price.

surprised not!

Maybe the CTec ones were too reliable and never needed replacing and therefore didn't generate ongoing profits like the roof modules do on roadsters!

Cheaper just to use the car more often I'm thinking.

I have the ctech version up for grabs .

First to pm me their address can have it . All I ask is a donation to a local registered charity of their choice.

I use my BMW bike battery charger, just plug it in the car boot 12v socket and it works a treat. :-)

Thanks for the interest and v8vantage82 was quickest of the mark.
