looking at getting one but dont know where to start or which is best!

c-tek charger spot on had on mine all the time for 2 years it chargers and conditions the battery easy to get just search on internet for them

Eliseparts.com have a couple of good ones - a solar one which works if you park outdoors, or a good normal trickle charger for indoor (garage) use. They work fine on my Elise, so don't see why it would be any different for any other car

No probs, i use the solar one and it stops my battery from dieing!

one last qu i promise!

charger arrived today but it says you have to disconnect the battery from the vehicle to avoid damage to the alternator and other elec circuits.

is this right because i was hoping just to whack the croc clips on as it is and leave it. then when it comes to taking the car out i wouldnt have to arse around connecting the battery up again!
