Battery Chargers

[Fudge40]

I have a battery at the moment that is 3 years old,

Its a lead acid 12v 12amp one which I got when I purchased my magnet.

 

Lately the charge has not been lasting too long but am only using the cheap charger that came with it.

 

Is it worth buying a new charger to see if that makes it last longer or just buy a new battery.

 

If its get a new charger what would you recommend, I was looking at trickle chargers but there so many out there it gets confusing.

 

If its a new battery I would buy the same one from A1 as this one has lasted a good amount of time or is there better out there?

 

Thanks in advance

Yuasa battery are good, get one where ever cheapest.

 

I use lidl\aldi charger on motorbike function. Never had any problems and battery (7ah for spot lamp) gets topped up weekly in winter and sits mostly unused in summer.

Ctex are very good you can set to recondition the battery mine is a c5 and goes down to around 2amp and to over 100 amp hour batteries plus if needed leave it connected all the time without any problem

I have a very small Yuasa 12v 1.2ah battery and charge it with a c-tec charger. I shot yesterday starting at 10am and forgot to pack the flapper at the end of the session, My son went to pick it up at 8pm and it was still flapping away.
