        I've got an older Optimate charger for the motorbike, and have always been impressed with it. I would imagine that their newer stuff should be fairly good.

          At one time aldi did a non branded version. It was identical to the ctek one with a different name.

            Another vote for the Ctek. Just remember to unplug it before you reverse out the garage

                  Ctek are fine, just way over priced if you can get an Aldi/Lidl equivalent for around £12.99.

                  I've got three and they've all been excellent.

                      You have a Bosch battery

                      It's a good quality brand then throw a good quality battery conditioner at it..

                      You'd not risk buying your wife a alternative brand or quality pair of suspenders and expect the same nut twinge would you....

                      You get what you pay for. Treat it to the best ..

                          120 Amp/hour(reserve capacity)??

                          Any car battery will have a larger CCA rating than 120.

                            Just checked the instruction on my charger, 120Ah max it states. I've charged a battery with an Amp/hour rating of 135(680CCA) with no issues. Admittedly I didn't realise the charger was 120 max

                              Battery type:
                              12V Lead acid battery
                              1.2Ah–120Ah

                              I want to try it on a 225Ah battery. Will it die or simply cant charge it. Or will it take forever till it charges it?
