What brand and model Trickle Charger do you recommend/use for your Skyline GTRs?

Would prefer to hear what brand/model people are actually using themselves, so I know it's been tried and tested.

Ctek all day long mate. Will check the model if mine but would never buy anything else in future

 

[R322]

Thanks, yes please let me know the model (a product code if possible), as you've tried and tested it.

 

[Mookistar]

Xs3600

 

[R322]

Thanks.

 

[CT17]

CTEK here too.

 

[R322]

Thanks, I noticed the XS3800 too, but the XS3600 is good enough.

CTEK Multi MXS 3.6 12V Battery Charger replaces XS 3600 CTEK ***new range**** | eBay

Thanks, have you used the MXS 3.6? It seems cheaper than the XS3600.

They probably all do the same thing, seems CTEK is the brand to get.

I havent no.

Its worth buying a good one though as it will be on 24 7 through the winter

Second that, when ive used them before

Thanks guys, yes it's better to get a good quality one.

Excuse my ignorance, does this "top up" the battery so if you leave your car for a few weeks/months it will start first time?

 

[Mookistar]

Yeah. It cycles a charge to look after the battery when not in use

Cheers Mook,

Looks like this will be added to my Xmas list!

Don't plan on using the 32 until well after the salt lorrys pack up!

Comes with a plug with eyelets in it. You can hard wire this to the battery so connecting the charger is just plug and play. Makes life a lot easier, esspecially in the 33

Been using CTEK for years, even before Skyline ownership. Have a hardwire connection to mine and stays on all winter as well as times between useage!

 

[R322]

Thanks, yes as previously said, tops up the battery up, saves having to keep starting the car every week, to keep the battery from going flat.

Glad it comes with the Plug, as many leave theirs off the road for a few months. without starting the car.

Sorry to jump in here... But I have a dry cell/motorcycle battery in the boot of my R32 GTR, and was wondering if this style of battery can be trickled charged??
