Battery chargers

Good choice. It will last for ever.

I read somewhere on tinternet that an 80 amp hour battery needs a 8 amp charger, a 100 amp battery needs a 10 amp charger and so on.

Mine haven't, first one stoped working and tripped the MCB, the replacement is now suffering from a dodgy switch.

The bumph which came with the mxs5.0 says it will charge batteries up to 160 A/h and recondition batteries up to 110 A/h.

The larger the battery the longer the time stated for charging. Anyhoo I rescued the battery from the van this afternoon, connected the magic box and it's charging merrily as I type.

I'm not exactly sure how charged the battery was to begin with, between 11 volts and 12 I think, but the lights on the charger indicate that it was 80% charged within a couple of hours and now it's on the absorption stage where it's apparently charging more slowly.

I've got it  on the recondition setting so four more stages to go.

Sorry I got that a bit wrong. The mxs 5.0 claims to charge up to 110A/h and maintain up to 160A/h.

Glad I checked 😡

Yes, the mxs 5 is the correct charger.
