Parked up!

Post by Henry » Tue Jun 21, 2011 5:28 pm

Well cleared out the garage this afternoon, parked the sj up for a while. Decided not to sell her, but i wont be doing anything with it this year.


Now does anyone know of a good trickle charger? Or does anyone use them? Really dont want the 6 month old battery on her to go to waste, and if i do happen to fancy getting her out every now and again the battery will be charged.

Me, I'd get this one if you go down this route. Seem to have come down in price since I last got one. Got one of these for the bosses Bently and it works fine. Not bad when Bently wanted £800 (well that's what he told me!)for there one fitted (ha 2 wires). This model has a higher output so can also be used to charge a flat battery, ok so could the 0.8a version but would take ages...
