interesting JJ

does it have the drain down facility then recharge it, ? I have a normal battery charger but dont want to leave it switched on 24/7 over the winter on the cabrio's battery which is disconnected anyway.

In what way is it better, havent bought one yet, we don't get Aldi here, they get it down south tho!
Lidl have one similar for sale here from the 10th, anyone any experience with the Lidl one?
Was looking at the CTEk XS800, anyone know if its enough to keep my 2.3 90 right all winter?? (nearly sure someone was giving them praise here a while back, missed one on ebay last weekend lol)

TIA

The special buys don't hang around for sure, they had all gone the last time they were on offer.
I got the ctek 3600, it's been excellent I have to say.
