Rich_p 23 Posted December 3, 2013 I need to get a new battery charger for the garage I'd like one that charges but can also maitain the battery without the need for buying a seperate trickle charger. Do you think this one would fit the bill? http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_894769_langId_-1_categoryId_255205 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stef205 96 1 Cars Posted December 3, 2013 i have the same charger and i can rate it well. We use it to keep our leisure battery topped up that runs out extractor fan for the sandblasting cabinet. If you have one use your trade card should get abit off in store. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GLPoomobile 958 Posted December 3, 2013 I got a CTEK one a year ago. Think it's a MXS 3.6. Managed to recover a couple of old batteries that weren't holding charge, and then used it to keep my Volvo battery conditioned when it was kept in my garage for 6 months.

Simes 248 2 Cars Posted December 9, 2013 I've got 2x cteks, both trickle with one permantly on the honda and one on the 205. They are awesome and like above have saved and revived my Vespa battery to the point of doubling it's life. Battery £80 charger £40! Waterproof (ip65) comes with fly lead, can plug into cigar lighter, very small. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_p 23 Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks all. I ended up getting the Halfords one, the Trade card knocked about £8 off. The trade card did well on the torque wrenches I bought at the same time though - £35 off of each one! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
chipstick 382 1 Cars Posted December 11, 2013 Thanks all. I ended up getting the Halfords one, the Trade card knocked about £8 off. The trade card did well on the torque wrenches I bought at the same time though - £35 off of each one! Which wrench was it? I bought a 60-200nm one yesterday and it went from £74.99 to £59.99 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rich_p 23 Posted December 11, 2013 I got the Halfords pro 8-60nm one and that went from £74.99 down to £39.99 and the 60-300 and that was £84.99 down to £47.99 The guy did mention the discount wasn't as good anymore but when I got to the till I was pleasantly surprised. He must have been talking about the one you have Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
