So I should have been sitting in my garage, day and night, for the last four months then?

Strange.

Sometimes they won't work if the battery is too far gone, or when it is fully charged anyway.

I have had an Accumate connected to my car for the best part of 3 years. The intelligent ones are very good for your battery, and will keep it going for years.

Accumate and Ctek come well recomended, others I cannot comment on.

I have two trickle chargers currently topping up my cars. Work perfectly for me. My m3 's battery only last's a couple of weeks if left uncharged / started, but the trickle charger sorts that out.

Currently, both of my chargers are charging two near flat batteries. Okay, it will take a few days, but it works.

Only if you buy the cheap ****, you get what you pay for with power supplies/intelligent battery chargers.
