[DeTomaso] Trickle Charger info

[Bjoern Flesland]

Thanks Tomas, great info indeed.
I will prefer one charger per car, so I don't have to move it around.
Seems that C-Tek is a good brand.
I will check it out at their website.
Cheers Bjoern

   I don't know how many cars you have but if I had three cars I'd
   personally be happy with one charger and move it around on a regular
   basis. If you have many cars maybe you have other plans. A 3A charger
   takes pretty long to charge a fully discharged battery, that's why I
   suggested one more powerful if you're buying many chargers (and have a
   discharge problem). If you don't have a discharge problem you might as
   well get three of the smaller ones. You can always connect two or three
   chargers to one battery if you're in a hurry. Note that you can get
   quick connectors that you install permanently in the car if you want to
   move the charger around more easily.

   Swedish? Didn't know that.A
   Sounds very good to me!
   I am planning on getting three chargers!
   Why would you choose a 5A orA 7A charger if buying more than one
   charger?
   As opposed to the 3A versionA if buying onlyA one charger?

   I am just about to buy a few car battery trickle chargers.
   Not keen on buying any China made charger though, if I can avoid it...
   What would you guys suggest is the best charger out there?
   One that actually works safely for years and without burning up.
   Ie. best bang for my bucks.
   Any info/leads/links appreciated.
   Cheers Bjoern
