Just thought I'd mention that battery chargers are in stock at my local LIDL's, Worle
near Weston-super-Mare. From what I can gather, they tend to come in , and go quite
quickly. Motor homers, caravannners and the classic car people seem to love them, at
about 1/3 the price of CTEK's and Optimates. 6V, 12V, charging, pulse charging, trickle..
And they seem to last.
Sorry if this sounds like an ad, but I've been a bit worried that my 20+ year old
charger was getting so tatty that it would soon fry a battery, or me.
£13.99
Bought mine today.

Re: Battery Charging
I've had one of the earlier models for years as a trickle charger for my BMW and it's on 24/7 ands it's been fine,i think they usually carry a long guarantee aswell

Re: Battery Charging
I never find much wrong with lidls tools tbh. For the price they are fantastic, you don't expect much in the way of quality but i am usually surprised at how well made the stuff is. The only thing i have is one of their power washers and i broke the lance, getting a replacement was impossible although it was covered under their 3 year warranty they posted a new one out.
