I have that battery charger and it worked a treat on the leisure battery I used to have in my old caravan. It will also pay you to get a voltmeter (voltometer?) so you know how much juice is in your battery. You can pick one up for around a fiver.

hi there thx for all your info after all that i started looking into the lidl/aldi charger that is talked about on here so i did a bit of digging about and i found a new  1 on ebay for £20 so all good

regards brad.

I have the Aldi one at £12.99 from last year and use it for my leisure battery when on hookup and when not being used over winter. Superb charger with the winter facility, car and bike battery charging and also very small. It is hardly noticable in the unit.

I know this does not help much when they are currently not being sold by the stores, but worth keeping an eye out for when they are offering them again.

well i've i'm sick of looking my brain is hurting and brought it now its a few quid more but not sure when they will be back on the shelves so worth the extra to me.... prob be today knowing my luck

thx again regards brad.

hi all soz to b a pain but this is all new to me    i got my charger its been on all night and it doesent seem to be goining to the 14.4v it only  going to 13.80 ? is this normal

thx brad

It should initially charge at 14.4 volts and drop to 13.8 when the battery is charged,if the battery is dead flat then it may not recognise there is a battery connected as it detects the voltage from the battery to determine the state of charge,

The Lidl/Aldi chargers only charge at app 4a so it will take a long time to charge a large battery.
