does anyone use these?

im thinking of getting one but unsure wether to leave it on all the time in case of fire or anything like that?

am i better off just buying a jump starter?

 

Use one on mine ,once it gets to the charge level it shuts off and starts up when the battery level drops again

 

I use a 4 Amp charger . Have it on a timer. 6 hours a day

Get an optimate, they can be left on for up to 2 years and have all the safety stuff built in.

 

IF the car lives outside you want to be getting a solar panel one

If not as said, you want to spend a few pennies and get a good one with peak detection, otherwise you won't be doing the battery any good.

 

Hi m8

I use the following

I got mine from an old Ford garage in horncastle for aroud Ł15. It looks like a mobile phone charger, but has croc clips on the end. Built in shut-off as standard and I leave mine fitted most of the time. Well worth it & doesn't knacker your battery like continous discharging & jump starting can.

 

I have a Draper one from Halfords, can't fault it

 

im confused do you have to have a mains connection as my garage is away from the house im probably being thick

 

Can't have a charger without a supply

 

Take a look at machine marts AC70 Ł30 for an 'intelligent' charger ie once fully charged it automatically switches to trickle
