Tempted to get one of these for over winter when the car's in hibernation. Are there any recommendations/ones to avoid?
The ctek ones seem popular and reasonably priced?

I made one out of an old rectifier that used to power a UPS system, been running fine for 15+ years now.

Mine's a CTEK too - does exactly what it's meant to do and a lot cheaper than a new battery!

Depends where you get your battery from I suppose. I've just put one on my Astra. £50.

Ive heard good reports about a trickle charger from aldi or lidl (cant remember which one). My dad uses it for his campervan. Seems to work well and was 17 quid i think
