Battery charger - any suggestions?

[Spud]

Managed to go flat within a couple of minutes of using a compressor to pump my tire up today. Have since had it topped up and checked (battery is in good health, was just low), so I'm thinking I need to get myself a charger for the garage.

Any suggestions on good makes etc.? Never had one before.

Cheers

+1, also have a ctek, great device. Trickle charges and conditions the battery, great fro long lay ups in the garage too.

That one? Good value? Obviously I don't really know what I'm looking for or how much I should pay...

+1 used one on my Elise when I was away for long periods and kept the battery in A1 condition
I believe they're even provided as standard equipment on Aston Martins.

Another vote for CTEK here......used one for the last 3 years on cars and bikes and never had a problem.

Not standard on my Aston though :x

Halfords own brand, works fine on my Z4 always keeps it charged up over the winter when it's not used so often
