Default When is a lead-acid battery charged?

Generally most home chargers are pretty weedy and car batteries are fairly
tolerant. All you really need to do is charge it sufficiently to start the
car and then let its charging system worry about topping it up. Overnight
is usually good enough for this.

Incidentally, Lidl have their rather fine chargers on sale again from next
Monday. They can be left on indefinitely since they switch to a
maintenance charge when the battery is 'full'. They've gone up since last
time - now 15 quid - but still very worth it. Enough output to charge most
batteries overnight.
