A friend asked me about this product currently on sale at Lidl and if it’s any good for charging both leisure and vehicle batteries. I have an all singing and dancing charger which cost more than three time as much and really not sure about this one. Has anyone better knowledge or advice I can pass on?

It works well and is extremely good quality and VFM.  However, it does have one "feature" that some people may consider a problem or flaw.  If there is an interruption to the power supply it reverts to its standard settings forgetting the different settings you may have input.  I don't think this is a real problem, after all how often does the power drop, but some may not like it.  Reverting to its standard setting won't cause a problems or damaged but may mean you don't get the best charge.

Thanks for that, DD. I’m not sure even my expensive charger would perform differently in that rare scenario of a power interruption. Sounds like it may be a useful purchase.
