I've had a couple of these for a few years now and they're great and loads cheaper than alot of the others and come with a 3 year guarentee. Says its for cars but it has a motorbike setting too. Mine are left connected all winter and maintain the charge. http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index_38025.htm I'm going to get another one. _________________ If I have to understand, don't bother to explain.

It's charged my bike battery no problem but won't charge a leisure battery so I'm gonna have to get an optimate at some point. I can post it on for what I paid if anyone is interested. I'll keep hold if not, it is a nifty charger to have around. Cheers.

I've tried it on two, both of which are 85ah and it won't charge either. I've also tried it on a truck battery with the same result. Although I must admit all three batteries are very close to the end.
