merckx Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 (edited) . . I've been wanting to buy a maintenance charger for the car battery as the car doesn't get used much this time of year. I was just going to order the well known recommended Ctek XS 3600 charger which costs £50 My brother did a little research on the net and he found people recommmending one from Lidl - Tronic T4X - made in Germany. The specifications are the same as the Ctek, it even has exactly the same 7 led's and mode button on the front. The instructions are more or less the same, just worded differently. It's only£12.99 at Lidl , I bought two this morning. . . . http://www.kompernass.com/pages/_pdfs/2d65416458600abac0338a69f9774531.pdf http://www.ctek.com/Manuals/XS3600_en.pdf . . .

michael Posted November 16, 2008 Share Posted November 16, 2008 Nice find, not for me because I recently got the CTEK but at that price everyone should have one Does it have a permanent fitting kit you can leave on the car? I guess you could make one anyway but thought I'd ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

merckx Posted November 16, 2008 Author Share Posted November 16, 2008 fancy selling your spareThe other one if for my brother and his Corvette. Apparently they've been available at Lidl for the last couple of years, I'm sure you'll find them in one of your local stores. Does it have a permanent fitting kit you can leave on the car? Unfortunately not, I'm going to see if I can buy a waterproof two pin plug and fit it somewhere on the car so I don't have to open the bonnet every time I want to disconnect the charger. The car is always on the drive as I don't have a garage so I also need to figure out where I'm going to locate the charger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
