They all said it's brilliant. I bought one last week and have been using it for a few days and all is well. Previously, I got the battery warning bleep less than 30 seconds after turning ignition, but now it's much longer. |
With 3.4A max current it's a bit weak, will take forever to charge A8 sized battery(95-110Ah). It should be OK as maintenance charger that you use regularly just to top up battery but it's going to take very long time to fully charge flat battery, expect 2-3 days for A8 sized battery to charge from 10% to 90%. You should be looking at 10A+ for A8 or even better 20A.
Something like this perhaps: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ring-RCB32...item19e2a3d673
