The ones you can get from Aldi are spot on

I use a C-Tek one - not sure of model as it's in the garage but it reconditions batteries as well as charges including AGM (gel batteries). Good bit of kit.

Bondy, the aldi one works surprisingly well, not the fastest charger but it recharges my 85amp battery overnight, well in 12 hours. I have one that's twice the price which according to the charging rate should charge faster but I don't think it does, I always use the aldi one nowadays and the other one for the bait boat batteries.

The ideal would be an 8 amp Smart Charger.
I would recommend Ring or C-Tek.

My local Lidl had superb chargers in this week at £13.99.

I have been using one for a few years to keep my leisure battery in tip top condition, it is a copy of the C-Tek.

allright Bondy

10% of total battery capacity would be an ideal starting point for a charger...(assuming standard lead acid battery)

so you'll be after a 10amp charger.

I would also recommend the C-Tek chargers - not the cheapest but excellent products

I used to work in the marine trade specialising in batteries and charging systems....

C-Tek ain't the cheapest but they are one of the best. I've also got a 10amp Numax for when I'm in a hurry
Are you sure?

This action cannot be undone.

Yes, continue
