Hi

I have a 110amp battery, what type of battery charger do i need to charge it, i.e how many amps? I would prefer one that I can plug in and forget about, if thats possible?

Also there will be several times when I will not have electric hookup (approx 4 days to 1 week at a time), would a 12volt 15watt solar panel be sufficient to top up my battery if a small 10" colour tv (via invertor) was on for a couple of hours a day along with normal use of lights etc?

I find a 13 watt solar panel in the summer will double the time I can use my 85Ah battery. During the winter months I don't even bother connecting it up.

where do you put your solar panel?  I've recently bought the Maplins fold out 13W brief case job.  I'm worried that if I put it on the roof, propped up at the right angle it might blow off and if I have it on the ground it might get pinched!

Thanks

we have ours padlocked and chained to the A frame of the van.

I bought a CTEK XS 3600, but was advised that Argos are selling off an equivalent charger for only £23.99 ! ! !

Does exactly the same thing, will charge up to 120ah leisure batteries and can be left connected until you next need the battery.

I've bought the Argos one and tried it out, can't fault it  really so the CTEK one is going back!
