thanks for that advice i might take the charger back to halfords although its 12 months old and sods law i can find every receipt but that one .The  only reason we got that charger is because we had one previously and it was ok it was about £50 when we got it although they now have a newer charger in so not sure whether to take this back and see if i can put the extra to it cos i cant see them refunding us with no

I would for this one Maggie;


Halfords Ring Smart Charger

If you read the description it does all that you need to keep your battery going for years. If your battery does get deeply discharged this charger could bring it back from the dead!

I wouldn't!!!

I bought one from Amazon last year - after installing it, it charged seemingingly OK for 20 hours, then displayed an error code which was not shown in the instructions.  Contacted Ring who first tried to blame it on a dud battery, then said the charger was faulty and to return it to them.  I returned it to Amazon instead and a few days later received a duplicate.  This went exactly the same way, and again Ring tried to blame the battery.  Returned it once again to Amazon - this time with a refund, and purchased a CTec.  Installed it and have had no problems with it all last season.  I leave it switched on all the time we are on-site, and the battery has never gone flat, in spite of us having a large van with mover and only a 85 AH battery - yes, the same battery Ring said twice was faulty.

Thanks Paul does anyone know much about motor movers as we had ours fitted last oc powrwheel said an 85 amp battery is ok but other people we have spoken to say its not the email from powrwheel i copied below probs is our battery compartment will only accomodate 12 and a half inch length battery and the 110 we have seen is 14 inches

The recommended battery size depends on which mover you have had installed:

Our new Evolution movers = 110 amps

Single Axle Model 3 or Model 7 = 85 amps

Twin/AWD Model 4 or Model 6 = 110 amps
