Suggestion · Original poster
Anyone using one and if so what type is it, I would prefer to use the fag lighter rather than leads from the battery which would remove the need to lift the bonnet everytime I disengaged/engaged the device.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I was following the earlier thread on Batteries and one post mentioned battery charger/conditioner which I was thinking about getting as my car sits for weeks at a time without turning a wheel due to overseas biz trips. My OPC tried to sell me one at about £85 but I suspect there are cheaper alternatives which are just as good. I have searched the interweb but got confused about just which one is best for the car but I should have known it would be better to come here first.

I use a trickle charger from Halfrauds, I think it was ~£28. It will charge a low battery, then just tops it up when needs be and switches offf when not needed. Clips directly to the battery. Does a great job.
Lovely thought Adrian, Just a slight hiccup though, my garage gets no light!! The thought also crossed my mind that there are mixed metaphors here: solar powered to charge up a 3.6 gas guzzling, ozone depleteing, vile carbon footprint the size of a small village monster car and foe of the eco warrior.
Nice touch! makes me want to do my bit!!!!!!!
Thanks Rodney (Like your new car by the way)
I was hoping to not have to phaff around under the bonnet if I can help it, but one for the list never the less.

I've been here and done this one. I bought mine from Hiene Geirike (I ride bikes too), its a trickle charger/booster and will sit and maintain your battery whilst you are away. It will detect whether you are connecting to a bike, car or jet ski and adjust its self according and give a digital report on your battery ie what it is currently doing with it and when charged its condition ie stong/weak and then automatically go into maintain mode. It comes with a mounting lead (leave it permanently mounted on the battery so you can plug straight in) and leads with clamps to connect to your terminals. It is made by Oxford and cost £40. It is as good as all the other trickle chargers on the market at a very reasonable cost. I have used mine on my car and bikes, faultless.
PCGB members might want to check out Bob Spratley's new DIY for a very neat and tidy way to connect a trickle charger/optimiser:

Cheers Richard,
Bob's DIY captures the essence of what I would like to do. A simple unplug without having to leave open the bonnet whilst charging. You guys have given me a few options, Thanks a bunch
RB
Richard, my backups are working fine!
The connectors on the Oxford item allow you to close the bonnet. It also allows you to connect a permanet connection to the battery so it really is a "plug in" facility. This facility makes it perfect for motor bikes, you can hook up and tie wrap the connector to the frame, save all the seat off, battery access faff. Same goes for the car, really user friendly.
