Trickle chargers

[Paul RMB]

Being a new motorhome owner I'm baffled by the different battery chargers on offer. One fellow camper has recommended Accumate - any suggestions or recommendations would be welcome.

If you are purely wanting a charger to do a maintemance charge or trickle charge than also look at the Ctek XS800.

There is an article in April's MMM on chargers, abiet the top of the range but should still be of interest.

Hi Paul, welcome to the mad house! :-D

 

I must get my eyes tested, I could've sworn that said TICKLE chargers!!! 8-)

 

Clive Mott-Gotobed (just called 'Clive' on here) would probably be one of the most obvious people to answer this as I dont think there's anything he doesn't know about chargers, electrics etc, so if you don't get much of a resopnse, it would be worth dropping him a PM or posting this question again on the Motorhome Matters main forum as that tends to get more viewings.

 

A couple of questions for you, the answers to which may help you get more appropriate responses:

 

Are you thinking of replacing an existing charger?

 

Have you seen a motorhome/or have a motorhome, with a particular charger in which you want more info on?

 

Are you just trying to get your head about the subject?

Hi Paul,

 

Surely one of the most obvious questions to ask is why do you think you need a trickle charger?

We have owned our M/H for 2 years and have never had to put a charger on it yet. Before we go away I plug the M/H into the mains to run the fridge and could always charge either of the batteries through the built in charger but have never found the need to.

So the burning question is do you really need a separate trickle charger?
