Trickle charger needed

[Dave P]

My Ctek trickle charger has packed up and I need to replace can anyone recommend a good quality current model

I picked up one of these from Aldi a couple of years ago. https://manualsbrain.com/en/manuals/796066/
No complaints so far but can’t find that exact model anywhere - not sure if it got an Aldi part number? Seems a pretty generic specification
Edit - found equivalent on eBay here https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/143614831325

I had a CTEK fail after just a week, most people still reccomend them though. I did get another one.

Ring Automotive do some good products in my view, I’ve got a highly specced smart charger that’s been good for the last 12 or so years.

BMW are selling a version of the latest ctek

After a bit of advice. Getting the MC back from the garage on Monday and will keep it off the road for a month or so. I have a NOCO Genius G3500 already which seems to indicate that it will trickle charge. Should I keep the car battery connected and run the G3500 to the terminals under the bonnet? Never uses a trickle charger before.....

Yep, this is what I do. Keeps the battery in tip top condition

Why not just do what I do and disconnect the battery. They hold charge for months on end (at least 6) in this state.
