Battery charging.
Hi all.
I don't do too many miles a week, as I am retired, so I want to try and keep battery well charged.
I have a decent little charger with a facility for a "trickle" charge.
I don't want to nuke the battery and I also don't want to screw up the electronics.
Also, I don't particularly want to have to keep disconnecting and reconnecting battery to charge it.
Advice please!

Get a CTek charger, Cteck makes the charger that most high price manufacturers call their own. They just have their name printed on it and charge 2 , to 10 times the price, (Rolls Royce charges about 10x) . I got the CTek 4.3 Polar, and set to Cold mode for charging Mercedes AGM batteries. It comes with an adaptor I hooked up to the terminals so it's a quick plug in. The unit is designed for charging, repair and long term storage at the proper voltage. J Lennos garage has a good review of its operation. You will be surprised at how many high end manufacturers endorse CTek, and sell them as their own.
