Battery Chargers :)

[Keiran]

Hello all,

Ive just invested in a 110AH leisure battery

Now, Im going to need a charger for it, I have found this...

CTEK XS4003

By the sounds of it this will do the job?

Have you any other ideas, and comments if you have this charger or know of a cheaper bettwer one...

Thanks all in advance

That should do the job it says it can charge up to 140Ah so well within its limit. I used to use a 110Ah leisure battery for another hobby and to be honest they're more difficult and heavier to move around compared to a 85Ah battery.

Just make sure you don't completely run the battery down because they can be a pig to charge up again.

Yeah Ive heard that...

how do you charge you 110AH?

The CTEK range of chargers seem very good. After looking into charging regimes, that's the manufacturer I went for.

The XS 3600 which is slightly cheaper could also suit your needs.

I went for the XS 7000. More money but it has a supply mode of 13,6v max 7A. It works very well and I used it as a supply one night at Kelling this Spring instead of the battery ( Oh the joys of a hook up ). Also handy if you need to disconnect a battery from a car.

Look at this site - Battery Chargers and Accessories Battery Chargers and Accessories, UK

They have all the info and links to the manuals.

The CTEK range get over the flat battery problem with pulse charges. This removes the stratification. Check the manuals and specs first though.

Thank you very much, I might go with the XS7000 too...

Hi,

I use two 85aH leisure batteries and charge them with the Numax Leisure Battery Charger .... Numax Battery Chargers - Battery Chargers

I'm not competent to compare it with the others suggested in this thread but it works fine for me. I bought the charger and batteries from Tayna - they were very good to deal with.

This one has been fine for me for the last couple of years with my 115aH battery.

Thank you very much thats food for thought

It can hold up to 140Ah so well in his limit. I used to use a leisure battery 110Ah for distraction and to be honest, they are harder and heavier to move from a 85Ah battery.
