Car battery charger
Kind people here once suggested a Ctek charger to leave attached to my
car in the garage. At the time I couldn't get one quickly, so settled for another make. I now need to replace the one I bought and would like to get a Ctek. But which model do I need? I have an ordinary small car with a standard battery. Would the MXS 5.0 be the right one for me? TIA for all advice. Hugh -- Hugh Newbury www.evershot-weather.org |

Lidl and Aldi have that sort of charger quite frequently, but on special offer. It goes to a maintenance charge after the battery is full, and can be left on indefinitely. Cost about 13 quid - a third or less than the 'branded' ones that probably come from the same factory. -- *There's no place like www.home.com * Dave Plowman London SW To e-mail, change noise into sound. |
