These are back on sale again @ £14.99 (not quite the bargain they once were at under a tenner, but still) just in time for winter.

A clone of the Swedish C-Tek for a quarter of the price. Anyone who has bought one of these will tell you how versatile it is. It is a fully 'intelligent' charger - 6v and 12v, it will safely charge a completely dead battery and also has a desulphation mode that justifies the price of the unit alone.

Switches to trickle charge automatically and is safe enough to leave connected for prolonged periods (ideal for the weekend car!)

Doesn't look as nice as the C-Tek (and I suspect it is based on a discontinued model), but the cost savings have to be made somewhere.

I've actually got one of each! At those prices I can afford one to use just to keep the lawnmower battery alive!

And moulded in holes for wall mounting if you like.
Lidl one has wall/bench mounting holes too.
