NikNak Posted December 19, 2006 Report Posted December 19, 2006 Hi all, What with winter coming on, and me doing very little mileage (now i've got a job thats just about a mile round the corner..... ), i thought i'd invest in a battery charger to give it a bit of a boost now and then. Was shopping around, like you do, and was tempted by the 'Smart Charger' being sold by Halfrauds, and cost just under 30 of my quids. All i'm wanting to know is.......... Has anyone got any experience of this particular device? or.... Would i have been better off saving some of my hard earned squids and taken the missus out for a slap up meal..... ok ok, i hear you all shouting..... "where you gonna get a slap up meal for two for less than 15 squid..? mmmmmhh, this is true to some extent. However, if you are prepaired to wait (and can persuade her to wait too...), then a bit of diligent searching in local rags-and-mags will eventually come up with a coupon for 'buy-one-get-one-free' at your local 'Hungry Horse' (or similar..) :P All answers on a post-card to this forum please......... Nick ho ho ho...... :lol: Quote

Guest gooner52 Posted December 20, 2006 Report Posted December 20, 2006 anymore info on this charger please cant see anything on the halfords site :lol: Quote
NikNak Posted December 20, 2006 Author Report Posted December 20, 2006 hhmmmmm.......... most curious.... it was on there not too long ago, cos thats where my missus first saw it and suggested it. mind you, i did buy it around the time they had a recall of a very similar model, hence the reason why the one i bought was cheap i think....... no, not cos it was a duff waiting to be recalled model, but because maybe they had suffered from a drop in sales of all chargers (they were all on offer at the time). At the time of buying it had been reduced by around 30% if i remember rightly. It's too dark and cold to go out to the garage right now, but maybe at the weekend i'll go and have a look at the technical spec label on the back and post back. I do recall that it's good for all types of battery and that it's got a 20amp fuse in it. Nick Quote
Andrew T Posted December 21, 2006 Report Posted December 21, 2006 There have been posts in the past saying that a conventional charger will not work with Ca batteries and a special pulsing type of pulsing charger is neeeded. Quote
NikNak Posted December 30, 2006 Author Report Posted December 30, 2006 As promised some pics of the said charger..................... hope they're of interest. Nick Quote
