As the title states, can you recommend a decent trickle / maintenance charger for my car.

Seen loads on the market but looking for good experiences

 

C-Tek, MXS 5.0.

But do buy from a designated dealer, or they won't honour the 5 yr warranty.

 

Cheers, looks good. Is it worth getting it with the test functions or not??

 

Flame suit on but Aldi and Lidl do a cracking charger for around £14,
it has a winter /conditioning setting for long term connection,
I have a few for the bikes and cars.

 

Another vote for the Ctek MXS 5.0! Fantastic bit of kit has already saved me 2 batteries.

 

for the sake of £25 i'd just get the ctek one, had one for my old car and was a great bot of kit

 

Send me the link to these please

 

i think it was that one

 

I was looking at this one

 

That's the one I have, with the comfort connect eyelets permanently connected to the Scoob.

 

the ctek ones connect int he same way, just depends which features you want

 

Yes, mine came with a set of crocodile clips, which enable the other cars here to borrow the charger if necessary, and the easy connect with eyelets that I've put on the Scoob. Some sets don't include the latter, you buy it extra. You can also buy a longer lead (8') and a wall mount for the charger. Neither is cheap, however. For me it was cheaper to install another socket in the garage than buy the extension cable

 

ah right, reminds me, need to check the new house for a power socket in the garage haha

 

There were none in mine. Place I worked at was having a rewire/rebuild. I "salvaged" fourteen MK double sockets in almost new condition. Four are now in my garage.

Cost was 10m of twin and earth, plus some surface mount patresses.

 

Sat here waiting for my new CTEK MXS 5.0 charger to arrive.

Apparently its out for delivery and will be here before 22:00....

less than 24hrs from ordering to delivery

I'll let you know what its like..

 

Well,it's here, looked a very nice piece of kit.

Got the eyelets and the crocodile clips, will set it up tomorrow for a test run

 

Mine has been connected so far for one month continuous. Then removed and used, twice, to boost my eldest's battery, and is now sitting conditioning the Scoob battery too.

Car starts first pull every time.
