Well after paying out on a new battery i now want to look at getting a decent charger that conditions and maintains the unit
not just charging at a high boost rate

just wondered what makes and models people are using or thoughts on what is decent

I've got an Oxford motorcycle charger, never used it on the Navara as it is my daily driver. All the rest of cars/quad bike/wife's scooter get a regular top up.

I've got an Accumate motorcycle charger and have used it on the Navara quite a few times to keep the battery topped up :fingersx

Aldi looks after my Vanquish that use to eat batteries for breakfast dinner and tea, Aldi deep discharge/ conditioner brings the battery back from the darkside to the light WELL PAID FOR ITSELF , Also Aldi on the Tuscan , Baught a couple for friends presents too...

THE C TEC I have is not deep discharge/conditioner but higher model is http://www.ctek.com/gb/en/page/whycharg ... ry-charger

I also have an oxford, that`s not a deep discharge/reconditioned,Again higher models are Very poor thin 12v cables crock clips keep dropping off, insulation is split on 240v and 12 v cables where they enter charger and conductors are showing .. green light no longer works but still charges ok

Oxford and CTEC look after the bikes,

========= I RECOMMEND GETTING A DEEP DISCHARGE / RE CONDITIONER CHARGER ,WELL WORTH THE EXTRA WONGA .============

Sorry no model NO`s

There are multi chargers that look after more than one toy at a time , but i prefur individual chargers for various locations , eggs and baskets sort of thing

I have a Sealey smart charger, around 100 quid plus vat.
It has two charging levels 6amp and 16amp.

I have a couple of Optimates that I bought for my bikes, and if needs be for anything else 12 volt. Great bit of kit.

I bought a cheap solar one from halfrauds for my lawn mower and it was the cheapest they had at about £11 I think anyway it has kept it charged up all summer with no problems, have to say I'm impressed, don't know how good it would be on a larger battery though but on the small 12v on the mower it's good
