  3. C-Tek. We have one on our MX-5 that has a high drain alarm and doesn't
    get driven all the time.

    Found link for my other unit

    http://www.batterydoctor.com.au/store/view_product.php?product=MB-3604

    Does car batteries (3.8 amp) as well as bike mode (0.8amp).

    Kit includes permanent installed leads as well as alligator clip
    extension.

    I think most chargers come pre-supplied with such leads.

    Also added a power socket on the bike (phone/GPS charger) so switch
    over the plug when the battery charger is not plugged in.

    At this rate Gerry won't make any decision :)

    On many campertrailer forums, Ctek seem to have lots of problems in recent
    times. Not sure if they are made elsewhere or what.


    I had a Projecta AC250b http://www.projecta.com.au/catalogue/cid/3/asset_id/15
    on the campertrailer which ran a 80ah battery. it was ok for that.

    Now the trailer runs a 120ah Full river I had to buy a larger charger...
    I got this one, http://www.projecta.com.au/catalogue/cid/4/asset_id/174/
    and in middle of permanently mounting it on the trailer. Just working out
    where to put the plug for solar panels.

    The JayCar one pretty good to me. Put some of what you save toward a
    Powerlet plug-in system, and you will be away.
    Rocket science it is not. Charge controlled to battery tolerance? (it
    is). Pulse charge for sulphation? (yes). Float charge for extended
    periods?(yes). Charge modes to suit battery type? Yes.
    etc
    Best of luck. cya Friday.

    I guess you're right. It's SO hard trying to find The Absolute
    Truth... ;-)
    I may be well pissed by the time you find me. Look for me along the
    kick-rail at the base of the bar. I'll be the guy looking up at you
    saying "Sheesh, both of you are so tall, George..." ;-)

    I will keep my gaze suitably averted.

    You can go too high-tech.

    What? Is this the Queensland Liberal Party Forum?

    Are they really planning to have a non-elected Parliamentary Party Room
    leader? Joh would be proud.

    That's what I'm thinking, thanks to GWD.
    And when we've had our fill of the Liberal party swill, we'll once
    again force down another bitter pill.

    The two party pretend system sucks.

    Nah... Foucault.
    Why write a short poem when a long one will do, eh...
    I would. :)

    Simple fact it's done
    Cando will probably route labour out on it's corrupt ear and from the
    amount of lies and rhetoric labour is soiling it's pants and having
    little tanties over the unusual but legal plotting against them
    Polls show a huge swing against the grinning biatch and her monkey clan
    Assuming of course he takes Ashgrove which currently is not writ in stone

    I concur. We should go to proportional voting.

    oh my.. I've read about such "exclusive" clubs before. Usually
    involving ALP NSW ministers on late night research missions.

    Shouldn't there be a hole in the wall or something too?

    Interesting - ideas rooted in Kant, a real piss ant :)
    Yes, it do go on a bit but I've always liked it.
    Just to be sure, I would tug my forelock if I had one.
