Yes thats what i was worried about dont fancy frying anything....Its got a cut of so no problems there.

I only need one to top up the battery as my battery is not even a month old.

So just to be sure that will be ok for this battery

I've got a new Exide on my derv, and I've got a charger that cuts out when its charged up.

Your one looks like it covers all the bases, think I would be happy with it.

Like most things you get what you pay for, its not a cheap one, so should be OK.

Suppose you could ask the supplier of the battery for their thoughts.

I recently bought one of thoses through eBay, it was ?38 but the seller has now increased the price to ?49!

It only arrived today so I don't know how good it is.

I got it for our MGF.

Just need a extension reel now as my pathetic reel isn't long enough to reach my car.

Will any cheap reel do?

No need for extension leads either and you can fit it on the back of the sun visor and wire it internally to the battery.
