Stephen Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 That is a good price for a battery charger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 You can leave it connected, it cycles the battery to maintain it's condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweedledee Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 Looks like a good buy, and Martyn knows his stuff. I got a 64aH battery and intelligent charger from him back in 2012, and they are still going strong today. Might just get that charger as a spare at that price. Cheers Martyn.

BAZ Posted October 23, 2016 Author Share Posted October 23, 2016 That's what I thought a few years ago Pete, the original one which has been permanently on all the time for five years is still going strong. The batteries have give up mind you, I will need to replace my two 7ah ones, they are clapped out now. But the charger is giving it to them. They are similar in design to a German C-Tek one that they did, but not as the current one. It's still a bargain for the quality of charger.

Tweedledee Posted October 23, 2016 Share Posted October 23, 2016 I think the Tracer Lithium Polymer batteries are the way to go for power in a small lightweight package but they are really expensive. I use a 22ah one which is very convenient and only 1.2kg. Martyn, on my 65aH lead acid battery, does a build up of white crystal on the negative terminal indicated a problem?

BAZ Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 I wouldn't think so, brush it off and put a bit of grease on the terminal to help prevent it oxidising. If it goes bang, then that might be a problem. Tweedledee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Al Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 I know a few guys who use these for motorbikes; they all reckon they are pretty good, particularly for maintaining state of batteries on bikes which are not used for a length of time.
