Battery charger recommendations

What's best if you don't want to spend more than say £100?

I've used an Optimate 3SP for the last 5 years or so and it has worked perfectly. Keept my motorbike and now my motorhome (how times change!) fully charged throught the winter.

Having said that, CTEK stuff seems to win most reviews these days.

Scotland 2005 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Cairns BlueDiscovery 3

CETEK seem to have released a new range. I have a XS7000 but it is no longer listed on their website but they still seem to be available from AMAZON etc.

The current MXS7.0 seems to have a very similar specification and looks like the closest replacement.

Would you use this for the D3 main battery? If so, connected or disconnected (from the car's electrics)?

Seem to be reading conflicting views on this... Confused

If youi are just charging normally, then connected is fine. If you are reconditioning, then off the car is best (or at least fully disconnected. Thumbs Up
