Battery top-up charger

Postby Nick » Wed Aug 12, 2009 12:55 pm

Hi

My WR1 is not used so much these days & can sit in the garage for a week or so between runs. I assume that this is likely to cause a flat battery, so I would like some sort of battery charger/conditioner.

I'd like to be able to just attach it to the battery without having to disconnect anything else.

Can any recommend a good one please? Protection of the car management system is essential.

My girlfriend uses one of these on her bike. Don't know if they do one for a car but maybe worth having a shufty if they do.
If in doubt...

FLAT OUT!!

That's the one I have. Simple. If you so choose you can permanently fix to battery terminals and position the plug which the charger connects to somewhere convienient. Then it is a simple plug'n'play device. I just use the jaws that clamp to the battery terminal.

This is the one I use and have had no issues with to date. Can also either be attached via crocodile clips or have a more permanent plug and play connection
