Thanks Julian,
That's valuable info there with regards to the dry cell batteries.
I also like the C-Tek quick connector feature.
Per now I don't think one charger will do it, as cars sometimes are parked
or stored at various places.
Cheers Bjoern

I also have 4 of the C-Tek 3A chargers, they come with a quick
connector you permanently attach to the battery so an easy
plug/unplug. I have had mine for a good many years and I read you
need to use the cold winter setting for AGM/dry cell batteries.
Looking at the newer offerings they are much more tricked out
electronically, but do be sure to get one that is geared toward the
newer AGM/dry cell battery styles.
Cost will add up buying multiple chargers, Deltran have good reviews
and offer a multiple charging station that will do 4 batteries.
Alternatively you can get a more capable single charger and parallel
connect batteries together (this is a good way to bring back a
deeply discharged battery).

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.
Sounds very good to me!
I am planning on getting three chargers!
Why would you choose a 5A or 7A charger if buying more than one
charger?
As opposed to the 3A version if buying only 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.
