Good Battery Charger

[donnk]

This sort of weather tends to sort out the weak batteries, thought id mention a good charger ive used for a good few years.

 

Ctek 3600 (replaced by MX7) can do 12 and 6v more importantly can charge at 7 amps.

 

If your like me and dont like faffing around under the bonnet, I knocked up a charger plug to go into the trailer electrics socket so can charge and leave everything locked up tight.

Cracking idea. I've got 2 CTEK chargers but both of them have dodgy switches. Just ordered a 20A charger from alpha batteries plus a big commercial battery for my tractor as I'm fed up not being able to start it in this recent cold snap

Will that charge even when the ignition is off?

it does on my disco4.

I guess the Disco is CANbus electrics and has a live feed to the trailer all the time,  wouldn't work with my oldie-worldy style Landrover.

what connections do you use in the plug?
