Trickle charger advice

[welshnobby]

Any suggestions on a decent trickle charger that won't cost the earth? I use my car on the weekends and thought i would keep the battery in tip top condition.

I bought one of these
CTEK™ MULTI XS 3600 Charger & Conditioner

from here

www.vertar.com/prodtype.asp?PT_ID=123&source=adwords


seems to do the trick and isnt "too" expensive at around £50 although I think there are cheaper products on the market. This Ctek was recomended by sveral people try searching battery charger in the porsche section there was a recent thread about them

The ctek unit is the same one that Porsche brand and sell for considerably more money...

[abarber]

Yup. Another vote for the CTEK unit.

Another vote for the CTEK 3600, best 50 odd quid I've spent :smile:

I use one made by 'Airflow', cost about £35. Has worked well for 3 years now.

Got mine from halfords £19.99 no problems at all. Only down side is lack of cigy lighter conector, only battery conection.
