Seems good to me too but I was a bit bugged that it says "Suitable for up to

1800cc engine size" which I'm not sure how specific this rule is if I get a bigger engined car in the future. Never bought a car battery charger before always had a jump lead and a friendly neighbour :)

It's a silly description. A larger battery will just take longer to charge fully - that's all.

Lidl occasionally have a super little SMPS charger for just over a tenner

Have a google for SIP chargers. I got one from 'world of power' I think. SIP also make other high power devices like arc welding sets, and I am very impressed with mine. It has an accurate amp meter and can output a measured 8amps. It is a

3 stage charger too I th> Been on the hunt for a decent battery charger and saw this one : >

Autoexpress did a test recently - available on their web site. Top charger was a halfords one which I got and am very happy with.

I'll have a search for that, thanks.
