Battery charger/conditioner
« on: 16 February 2014, 15:35 »
Can anyone recommend a decent battery charger/conditioner.

Had cruise control fitted over the weekend which is the first time the car has seen daylight in a couple of months and the diagnostics threw up a  few faults  related to low voltage so I'm thinking of buying a charger/conditioner.

I have 4 of them now, and been using them for the last 8 years or so...just perfect & reliable.

I use the same ones on a couple of my cars after your recommendation a few years ago. I cannot fault them.
