Hey folks,

I've got a fair few batteries laying about my garage atm and not one has a charge in it so i'm looking to buy a decent charger.

There seems to be plenty of cheap ebay specials for £20-40 but I dont want to waste my cash. I have about £100ish to play with.

Are the machine mart ones worth the money?

Thanks,

David.

I use a C-Tek charger/conditioner on my batteries. Brought the battery on my 888 back from the brink a few times when other chargers would not charge.

I got a trickle charger from machine Mart £15 ish and it does take a while to charge up a battery but I think it's better for the battery

Zaf-90 Graeme? They did not sell them for long and never got them back in :( I got one too.
I got a second one from a friend whos brother worked at a C-Tek stockist rather cheap ;) Slightly better spec than the Costco one.

Sorry for the Ebay links admin but this would help everyone and its a BIN. The auctions have no link to me so no financial gain.
