Self monitoring battery charger

Post by BRC » Thu Sep 27, 2018 11:14 am

If you are interested Ldl currently have for sale intelligent battery chargers and for very reasonable money i.e. £13.99

https://www.lidl.co.uk/en/MiddleofLidl. ... leId=16458

I've used one of these for many years and its pereformed faultlessly and keeps the battery in tip top fully charged condition without cooking it. Now bought a second one to hook up to "my other car".

I wonder if these work with AGM Stop/Start batteries, my CTEK has this mode, I'm unsure what difference it makes or whether you need a charger specifically for these batteries which most latter BMWs have.

Thanks for the heads up, I might get one anyways for the other car.

Hello Tim

They do indeed work with AGM which coincidently is what "my other car" has. In reality I think there is very little difference in charging requirements.

Hope that helps
