Car battery charger needed (to borrow)

Yampiedog · 30-10-11, 03:50 PM

I haven't had my car on the road for nearly three months and unfortunately the battery is too low to start the car, it will jump start but really the battery needs either a good run (not got time at the moment) or a charge.
So does anyone local have a car battery charger I can borrow for a couple of days?

These are awsome for the money.

I leave one connected to my lotus 7 all winter. Also left it on my 180 when I took it of the road over the spring to do jobs to it.

I have something like the aldi offering which gives a trickle charge, great for keeping the MGF ready. However to revitalise a flat battery you need a reconditioning charger - http://www.ringautomotive.co.uk/cats...cat1=7&cat2=31 gives more info, I have the 8 amp model which has saved several dead batteries, if you get up to me you are welcome to borrow it.

Thanks for the offer. I have now bought a Ring charger.
I already have a solar trickle charger but I should be using the car more regularly again for a while - unless I buy a 125...
