Ctek charger deal

Post by Boysie »

Over Christmas not sure what day maybe boxing day
I got an email from Amazon about deals on the day
They were doing a deal on the Ctek Charger half price
I thought yeh and then thought I have three
I went into the garage the next day for a spin out in the car, must add top off
and the bloody charger is now playing up, it could be damp,
alas no more deals on Amazon :head:
I normally always impulse buy, but i didn't this time

Believe it or not, but Lidl do a great battery charger/conditioner.

I bought couple in 2012 and they are a great piece of kit.

£11.99 each if I recall and with a three year warranty too.

They were on offer at the time but the offer has been repeated several times since.

Regards

I'm sure I heard the Lidl charger is in fact a CTEK rebranded? I know the BMW charger is.

Yes I bought one as well - very pleased with it. In fact in its pulse charging mode it brought back my ride on mower battery back from the dead :D

Is this the good lidl charger? Is it suitable to leave connected while the car is in bed for the winter?

Its the one I have , got it for my Z4M when I SORNed it for 3 months, and kept the battery in top condition..

I have an element of 'M-styling' on my car, If that's a good enough reason for the manufacturers to adorn a 320 with the M badge, then its certainly a good enough reason for me..

I do the same as gookah, I leave it on whilst SORNed. Been on since Nov 1st this time...

Picked up mine today a battery charger for caravan whilst battery is off
A alternator/battery tester and a boot tidy
That's the trouble I should wear blinkers, I only went to buy the charger
I forgot 2 high viz tops as well, handy in the cars if you have to stop in an emergency and wonder out of car

Is the Lidl charger the type that can be used without disconnecting the battery from the car?
