and ~£70.

My £6 one works just as well.

Sounds similar to the 14 quid Lidl one - except a lower peak output. The
Lidl one will charge an average battery overnight - then switch to
maintenance mode. Which is a lot lower than 13.8v. Can't remember the
exact figure - I'll try and check tomorrow.

However, 13.8v is what both my cars runs at when the battery is fully
charged. Which might be high for a constant trickle charge while parked up
- but obviously not when in use.
