Andybailey Posted March 12, 2016 Share Posted March 12, 2016 Mines hooked up to one all the time ollie. It's a smart charger that detects when fully charged then holds it charged till you remove it. Can't remember the make/model off the top of my head. Will check it and let you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Glenn65 Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 I use the one I had for my motorbike, works great. Can't remember the name, but it has 4 lights to let you monitor battery condition. Defo recommend one especially if cab sitting with alarm on all winter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Dave Hartnell Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I use an optimate for both the escort and my bike,they are really good, depending on the model they will do everything from recovering a dead battery to monitoring and trickle charge.

DiscoDan Posted April 7, 2016 Share Posted April 7, 2016 Has anyone got any experience of the solar battery mainainers? I'm tempted to get one but wondered if they're any good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
