Battery charger

Post by mobil1 »

I bought this last year. Free power to your battery. Its solar powered and hangs in the window of my shed. It charges even when over cast. It can't over charge. Great if you've no power to where you keep your bike. I've hard wired it to the bike. Long lay ups no prob.

Got it from Maplin Electronics http://www.maplin.co.uk/Home.aspx

They've just knocked down my local Maplins on the South circular...

How much was it?

Ive had one of these for years, I used to keep my old fiesta battery topped up with it just plugged into the fag lighter and left on the dash. Worked well.
