Maintenance charger - recommendations?
« on: Yesterday at 22:07:05 »

As per the title. Went out the Chrysler tonight and the battery is flatter than Kiera Knightley.

Turns out it's nearly 8 weeks since I last did anything with it. How time flies  :-[. Still, the chances of me getting it shifted quickly are pretty slim and a maintenance charger seems like the kind of thing that would be handy to have around, so any recommendations Greatly received!  :y

I bought a CTEK years ago, not sure of the model number but have been extremely happy with it. :y

They are available at halfruds and ECP :y

I have two Ctek smart chargers - a MXS 7.0 which I use for generally charging of mainly AGM batteries, and a CT5 'Time 2 Go' which I use on a  vehicle at a holiday place we have that is left parked up for weeks at a time.
Very happy with both of them
I bought the Ctek Time 2 Go a couple of years ago from  Lidl - they were on offer in the 'Middle of Lidl' aisle at £24.95. At the same time they were on sale at Halfords for around £85! A real bargain, but I've never seen them for sale in Lidl since.
Some recommend NOCO chargers, but the Ctek have been brilliant and I'd recommend them....
