Default Car battery charging current.

There is very little literature on battery charging, of when a charging
device might switch from constant current to constant voltage at
different initial charging currents.


My car battery charger, bought second-hand forty years ago for £5, has
just packed up. Can anyone recommend a suitable replacement? Doesn't
have to be portable, just plug into the mains and recharge a flat car or
lawnmower battery. Preferably for the same sort of price I paid for the
last one ...


Both Lidl and Aldi do a rather nice SMPS one for about £14. Aldi may have
it available online at all times - Lidl as a special offer a few times a
year. Similar in spec to a Ctek at 4 times the price. Much smaller than a
traditional charger, and better too.
