C-TEK is the most popular one mate and I've had no problems with mine in 3 years,think it was about £30 from an e-bay shop.

Yep, I have one of these CTEKs. It's pretty good

That's the one I have too, it's fantastic, kept the battery nice and happy for 5 months from October through to March.

And keeps my commuter car topped up when I use the CSL with no issues!

Very good bit of kit for the money.

I got mine from eBay about a year ago, I paid about £52, though the prices seem to have stabilised on them nowdays.

For those storing your car over the winter and need one, Aldi of all people will have a trickle charger on sale on Thursday for about £15 quid. Gonna get one as spare to my CTEK which is now about 10 years old.

The last one of these I got for my Farther was a re-badged CTEK - even the instruction manual was the same albeit with a different picture.

Hmmmm good idea. I might buy myself a spare CSL as it is coming up to ten years old.................... just in case.

Sorry could not resist.

Yet another for the ctek. I got a MXS7.0 which is great for small or larger batteries like ones on modern 'fuel of the devil' cars the government insist we drive, and re-conditions flat or ones suffering from sulphur build up. Plenty on flee bay or try a google search.
