Niall at the risk of bombarding you with recommendations this is the battery and brand I recommend having used them on cars and boats for a decade or two. It's the usual maintenance free (sealed calcium) lead/acid. AGM batteries are the gel ones but not really needed unless you have a stop/start car. Click on image link for source and delivered (usually within 24 hours) price. ![[Linked Image]](https://www.bmstechnologies.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/08/cgitze4qrx5.jpg) This smart charger has all the facilities a typical Ctek has including a plug-in harness that can be permanently wired to battery, but half the price or less. Has AGM, lead/acid, summer and winter modes plus auto sensing for 6 or 12 volt batteries. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/X8IAAOSwe65iA9Pm/s-l1200.jpg) Being a Yorkshireman I'm always looking for quality allied to price. Perhaps it shows

I would recommend the CTek conditioner/charger too, as it can be left in place over Winter.

I've got three of the Maypole 4A's -on the Mog and the bikes. Also can be used all year round, and fraction of the Ctek price.
