Cracking charger and maintainer on Amazon for £15
 

This is an absolutely cracking charger that I bought for £35 last year

Its a bargain for £15 for anyone who is interested listed on Amazon today as a daily deal.

Good heads up, thanks.

Stating the obvious, this needs to be plugged into a mains supply? I ask because my cars are parked about 10 meters from my house.

Yes it plugs into a mains supply.

I'm not sure how you overcome the distance from the house if you're parked on the road that far from your house. If its your own land all the way to the car you'll need a mains extension lead

by removing the battery and taking it to the charger:D

Many thanks for the heads up - I have just bought one to replace my old charger.
I have always disconnected the battery when charging as I worry about "frying" the ECU. Do I need to as long as I connect earth first and then positive and the reverse to disconnect?

Yup that was a touch too obvious for me to think of I'm afraid

I wouldn't like to say, one of the experts no doubt will put you right.

I charged up the battery on my CDT in situ with no problems.

I've just gone to buy one myself, and it's now currently unavailable!

rude word!!!

No Mike, you do not need to disconnect the battery. Your charger's connections to the battery are identical to those of the alternator. You just need to observe the polarity of the charger's crocodile clips: red to the positive battery terminal and black to the negative. It's only carelessness or ignorance which causes damage. :}
