I use this for charging

Fully Charges a 90 amp hour car battery in a few hours. Cheap at 35 pounds.
I am not using my car at all during lockdown, so I do a full charge every 2 weeks.Comment

The battery on my daughters mini was totally dead. Five months of zero use in the lock down. I didn't renew her expensive insurance last year, as it was a bit pointless.
Instead of charging the dead battery, i just bought a new one, was £100 for a branded 70 amp stop/start AGM battery.
I thought it would be £185 for a stop start battery, the kind of quotes i was getting from Halfords, but shopping around the internets was able to find a reasonable price for a battery that is in reality going into a small car and so shouldn't be so expensive..Last edited by Fraidycat; 16 March 2021, 06:25.Comment

You can get leisure batteries which will tolerate being repeatedly discharged but ordinary car batteries won't.
Scoots still says that Apr 2020 didn't mark the start of a new stock bull market.Comment
