Oxon88 Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) halfords do one for £23. or cheaper if you have a trade card. Edited March 25, 2011 by Oxon88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) What voltage is it? If it is 12v - I see car chargers every week at a car boot - going rate - £2. I have bought several and given to my sons, friends etc. Only one wasn't working - fuse changed - okay.

webber Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 What size, and type of battery do you wish to charge? webber Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Most batteries (12V) used for lamping etc, are better off being charged with a trickle charger (something I'm trying to buy without any luck)Anyone who knows where to get a quality one, I'd appreciate them telling me.

Steve Not sure if this is what you mean but I use an Optimate to trickle charge my motorbike battery when it's not being used and for keeping the leisure battery topped up on the motorhome - have used these for ages and they can also bring dead batteries back to life.... http://www.optimate.co.uk/ You can buy them from most motorbike accessory shops/websites Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
