Battery conditioner

[apotek]

Does anyone know where I can buy the three pin plug to fit in the boot of my 06 DB9.
Somewhere in my garage I have an AM charger but its been missing, not needed for years.
I dont fancy laying out mega money for a new one when they are £40 on amazon.

I believe that this would be the correct plug (to fit the existing socket in the boot ?) ... a male XLR audio connector.

However, take care to ensure that the charger is compatible with the battery size / voltage in the car ... and is not just a trickle charger which may ultimately over-charge the battery ...

Thanks Chris have just had an offer from fellow PHer but yesterday found that the socket is a cigarette lighter type with a short charger connector wire under the tyre pump.
So am going to check this is where i can plug the charger in and if so get a c-tek

Amazon is usually your friend - CTEK MXS5 usually the model to get.

As others have said CTek are widely used. Good tip for you is to buy a 2m extension cable for the CTek charger as it’s thinner than the charger cord itself. With the extension it means I can shut and lock the boot on my v8 vantage with the extension passing through boot seal without pinching or deforming cable. Also if worst came to worst and cable did get damaged it’s only the extension cable that would need replacing and not the charger unit.

Another tip is to leave a note in the centre console reminding you its plugged in.
I've never done this on any of my Aston's or other cars but managed to drive out of the garage once in my old GT3 despite sitting on the cable at the time !

Here's how I do it.

I used to hang the Remove Before Flight tag on my driver's mirror
