why waste money and time on a charger,
just hook your pump up to your vans battery, if you cant connect to a fused circuit go through your cig lighter make sure min 6amp, no more  messing around with chargers and batterys

Thanks Russ
Seen those chargers they look good just worried if they would charge in time.

Jonisondell
Thanks for suggestion. I've used a split charge relay in the past and found it drained the van battery so I haven't used it for a long time. Useing a seperate battery and charging it at night has been problem free, working off of the van battery all day long sounds a bit risky to me, especially as today when at work my van battery decided to die, thanks for the leisure battery I could breath a but of life into it and get going again.

I hook that charge up overnight and it will do a leisure battery for 3 days
Thats flat out 7-8 hours for 3 days
You can't go wrong with it.
If you want to have a try before you buy
I can lend you it but it would have to be on a Friday
and would need it back by Sunday.

I always carry two batteries on my van just in case. I bought my batteries from Towsure quite cheap.

Thanks for the offer Russ, but I think I'll take your word for it and go for the cleaning spot one.  They look good and the price is good as well.
