Hi, can anyone advise me on what type of battery charger to buy for a 110 amp battery when the caravan is not in use over lay off periods for a few weeks when the caravan is not in use.
Many thanks
Jimmy

I have recently purchased a 3.5 amp charger very similar to Michael has mentioned made by Durite for £42 and works really well.
