[QUOTE="67westy, post: 535349, member: 14107"] I just use a 5A Ctek charger hooked up to the battery when on mains. The 12V still runs from the battery but the battery is constantly being maintained by the charger and it's unlikely you will be drawing enough to run it flat. You an get into the world of zig units etc but they are on the bulky side and don't offer a great deal more for my usage. Stick the charger along with an extra socket next to your 240V consumer unit and run some cabling from the charger to the battery. The Ctek's use a "comfort clip" system so my intention was to run a lead into the engine bay and then have individual wiring to the starter battery and leisure battery. This will allow me to charge the starter in the garage over winter etc without having an extra charger or moving lots of stuff around. [/QUOTE]
