Trickle Charger recommendations?
I'm moving to a new house this weekend which I'm fortunate to have power in the garage.
I don't use the car very often and just want a decent charger to plug in and leave on the car letting it do what it needs to do.
What's everybody use and recommend?

had one of these on my old classic for years, cracking bit of kit
few different models with varying prices so can choose what to pay

Optimate4 ..... my car lives plugged into it and it works a treat!
Comes with a nice wee hardwire quick connector to plumb direct to the battery and hide in the grille too.

Either of the above.
I'd buy whichever one is doing the extra lead for leaving connected to the battery so that connection is a plug in affair, and whichever one is doing the wall mounting for the cheapest price.
With C-Tek, beware of buying from ebay etc, C-Tek say they will ONLY honour the guarantee from authorised sellers

I have a CTEK on my boat and a Optimate on my bike. The Optimate gives you more information but the CTEK feels a better quality bit of kit.
If I was buying again I'd go for CTEK

they tend to be known as battery conditioners rather than chargers. They keep the battery charged by detecting when the votage in it drops, then when it gets high again it stops charging.
idea is they are left connected to the car while it parked, most come with a quick connector so leads stay on the car all the time and just snap fit the connector when you park up.
