so buying a charger:-

screwfux have a 4A at £20 & a 6A at £30.

the 4A one is "not recommended for batteries over 50Ah" ?

(my borrowed charger has a "2A trickle charge" setting....)

So is that just marketing bull**** to induce me to buy the more
expensive charger? or is there a basis?

I would recommend getting a proper smart charger, like this

As it will also charge gel batteries.

Aldi/Lidl have them every so often.



But

So one person has complained they had a problem with one unit.

Which is not, so far as I am aware, the one Aldi/Lidl sell... And from a
crappy supplier, it appears.
