Anyone used/got an AccuMate Pro Battery Charger?
The bloody battery on the scoob is going flat quite quickly, about a week. the only things running are an alarm (Clifford 500) and the memory in the stereo. The battery and alt are both new so I will obviously look to see whats draining all the power but I was hoping to use thw above charger to maintain everything.
Has anyone had any experience or got on for sale?
They are around £65 new inc vat and del.

We use the Optimate charger from them for the motorbike batteries and we've never had a problem with it. The same charger works for car batteries, and I would not have a problem in recommending it to anybody.

My STI7 is connected to a standard accumate now. I didn't buy the pro version.
They are very good, I would recommend to anyone.
I believe it is a very common charger on cars which are not driven very much, TVR etc..I have heard that they are sometimes fitted in to the boot
They come with a fused connection to attach to your battery, so it is dead easy to plug in.
I have had it for about 8 months, and connect it if I am planning to leave the car for more than a day or so. It takes a while (depending on condition) to saturate the battery, but then changes to a maintenance charge and stays there forever.
I bought it from Shadowfax Engineering as well. I believe that is the site you linked to?

I have heard of "Optimate" chargers being used on car batteries, but they are designed for Bikes really.
The standard "Accumate" is big enough for the scoob, but I would suggest only just. It switches to maintenance charge at 200mA, which can take a number of hours to achieve on a large battery.
The Accumate pro switches over at a higher value (6 or 700mA IIRC) which may be better.
On the other hand, it is better to charge a battery at 1.2 amps (accumate)than at 4 amps (? accumate pro)
I would buy either the accumate or accumate pro for car use, not the Optimate
