Ctek battery charger

Lidl / ALDI are ok - keep your eyes peeled - failing that, there are plenty on Amazon for £25 - as long as they are suitable for an AGM battery

If its just to keep the battery conditioned is there a recommended power input or will just a low power do as it won't (hopefully) be needing a fast charge

They do a maintenance charge - so just clip it onto the under bonnet pins and forget about it. (Tie something around the steering wheel so you remember it when you have to!)

Here's the version I bought - It was only about £25 from Amazon
Type in :- Maypole 7423
I bought one for each car at the start of the virus lockdown in the knowledge either car would have very limited use as both of us are wrinklies!

I just normally weld the doors up with my TIG to remind me that the charger is connected. Imagine my frustration the other day after going to the trouble of angle grinding them open again and then simply driving off with the leads still attached!

Next time I will weld the doors up and also take all 4 wheels off.

I like the built in voltmeter so you see what it is doing at a glance. I have hacked a small LED digital meter in/onto both of my Ctek chargers. Each time thinking they should just add this feature.... I'm looking for a 3rd unit now thanks for the tip.
