I used to use CTEK chargers, but lost faith with them 10 years ago, after having multiple failures across three different models. I switched to the Optimate chargers and use them ( different models ) on the bikes, garden tractor, Volvo and the Plus Six. The chargers are specific to the type of battery fitted. So far no issues, but I am not a battery expert in any way, so maybe I have just been lucky with them. The issue of the "modern" 12v car battery types failing suddenly is always at the back of my mind though. Our Plus Six is coming up to six yrs old, so I think this winter its due a new battery. The original fitted is a Yuasa, so do I change brands or keep to the original??.
