I'd completely forgotten that I do in fact have a battery charger,
picked up I think at a boot fair on a whim years back, so I've no idea
if it works - I've certainly never used it for anything.

I'm not even sure that it's intended for cars: it's switchable between
six and twelve volts and is marked "Fast Charge 6 Amp".* The clamps
strike me as a bit small and flimsy for a car terminals and the warning
"for indoor use only" doesn't inspire confidence either.* Is it worth
giving it a go, do you think?




That sounds like a car battery charger.
Indoor use is only because its not waterproof - it probably has
ventilation holes/slots to aid cooling. It will OK for outdoor use if
it's not raining.

Or you put it in the engine bay somewhere (along with the end of your
trailing lead) and lower the bonnet gently over it. ;-)

As for the clamps, they are probably more than good enough for '6
Amps' and you might not see 6 amps from it, other than possibly for a
short time at the beginning.
