leisure battery charger
« on: January 12, 2014, 07:56:36 pm »
Could you recommend a good 110ah battery charger for my leisure battery.
Please don't tell me about split relay, doesn't work, don't drive enough.
thanks

Split relay could work if you used a car battery.
Friend of my does very little driving and uses one works well for the last two years at least anyway
A manager is generally someone who has been promoted to the position by someone else who didn't see them as a threat.
Hence all people are promoted to the level of their incompetence

I would recommend a Smart Charger.
C-Tek or Ring are decent brands.
I use this one: http://www.screwfix.com/p/ring-automotive-8a-smart-charger-with-li-ion-powered-led-display/66709

I just have a Halfords one which is fine. I would NOT recommend their leisure batteries though.

I've got a Ring charger, it has been excellent. Good customer service too.

Works for me too , car batteries accept a higher charge rate than leisure batteries .

So does one end connect to your van battery and the other end connect to your leisure battery and the charger stay connected at all times 24/7?

What your talking about is a split relay. A charger is well.......a charger. You plug it in then connect it to your leisure battery.

But some of them say they can be left attached permanently I was wondering what users on here do, I was not talking about a split charger I am aware of how they work having used one for many years.
