I bought a Maplins charger a couple of years ago on the recommendation of Mr Mc Ecosse- it lasted just over a year.......

I was wondering what peoples experiences were of the 'conditioning' as opposed to the 'charging'. Do they revive ailing batteries / keep them alive longer??

Andy

Battery conditioners - electrical, such as this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Optimate-3-12 ... SwD0lUbMy5

Your thoughts and experiences please

Says a lot about the owners.......

What you paid for the car (IMHO a very high dealer price) and what an insurance company will pay out in the event of the car being written off will be two VERY different figures.
