Hi, We have just got a second hand ABI Monza 5 birth.
The charger for the battery is broken so i was looking on Maplins website for a trickle charger. I am no good at electrics or anything like that so would some one who knows please advise me on exactly this does Charger
Would it connect to the battery through a standard battery charger, or is it an actual charger.
Thanks
Archie

That's a regulator to prevent overcharging with a solar panel or wind turbine. You need a PSU (power supply unit) which provides power and charges the battery. It may be that Gary at www.arcsystems.biz can fix your broken unit or supply a replacement unit (usually at very reasonable cost).

have a look at the ctek 3600 it will do what you want i bought one when we were away with the van and our charger packed in it worked really well you can leave it connected all the time as it does trickle charge i use it over the winter when the van is parked up just to keep battery topped up

Hi Archie, just like to point out that you do not have a 4 '"Birth" caravan you have in fact a 4 BERTH caravan
