Battery chargers

Post by oxydog »

I did a couple of searches on the forum, and found some info on battery chargers - seems like one should go for a C-tek or Benton. Can anyone suggest which is best (not necessarily most expensive - rather good value for money), and maybe indicate where I can find one in/near Pretoria?

Thanks Mark, ek sal verseker so maak. Lyk my die BX-1 gaan voldoende wees?

Anyone familiar with "Ring" smart chargers? Can possibly get hold of them for even cheaper than the Benton (R 480, but I haven't received the latest prices from Eric yet, so I can't say for sure).

Moet se nee, ek neem aan dit is een van die waarvan jy praat?

6v of 8v of 12v?

Dit hang soos genoem waarvoor jy dit wil gebruik? Kan jy deel?

Jip, dis hulle.

My SFA staan baie (vandat ek die V6 het), so die battery loop af. Ek wil hom op 'n maintenance cycle sit, sodat ek nie meer hoef te worry waar ek elke naweek met hom gaan heenry om hom te laai nie. Dis in elk geval handig om 'n charger te hê vir as jy dalk jou ligte aan vergeet het, of die pappery vir 'n ander rede pap geraak het. ek het gedink die Benton BX-1 is voldoende vir hierdie doel?

BTW, Eric het vir my die pryse gestuur - die Benton BX-1 is goedkoper saam met posgeld as die soortgelyke Ring (4 A), so ek dink nie ek hoef verder te wonder nie.
