Richard Grosvenor Posted December 2, 2005 Share Posted December 2, 2005 Hello, Don't know if anyone's interested but we've got some Draper Battery Master Conditioners for sale. We're a Draper stockest and we brought some to use on our own vehicles and have a few extra. They are suitable for all 12V automotive type batteries and are ideal for a vehicle laid up over winter. They work by charging the battery, then letting it go down slightly, then charging it up again and so on, as it would if the vehicle was in regular use. We've put some on Ebay for £19.99 inc P&P but if anyone on here wants one you can have it for £18.00 inc P&P. Many Thanks Richard 01945 700449 or 01945 701323 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 right, looks like I am the one who has to ask 'the' question. .......why is that any better than a battery charger? :? :cry: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Grosvenor Posted December 3, 2005 Author Share Posted December 3, 2005 Hello Ashley, No there isn't a 6V one, unfortuantly. Hello Clive, No there isn't a 24V one either, but as normaly 24Volters normaly have two 12V batteries, I use the battery isolater and use a conditioner on each battery. Hello Jack, They work differently to a normal charger. Firstly they charge at a much lower rate, lower even than a stardard charger on trickle charge, this stops the battery getting too hot and damaging the plates inside. Secondly, they allow the battery to "drop" a little rather than just keep on charging. So the battery is "cycling" as it would be in a vehicle in normal use. Batteries need to be "used", letting them go flat, then recharging them, then letting them go flat again tends to break them down. Many Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyler Posted December 3, 2005 Share Posted December 3, 2005 He knows his subject, what Richard said is correct as batterys are built for cycles, not to be fully charged all the time. Hope that helps. Tyler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whistlinwolf Posted December 4, 2005 Share Posted December 4, 2005 I have run a similar thing to this on motorcycles that stood all winter and in the last 8-9 years have never had to buy a new battery for one of them. I reckon if you are on 12 volt you really can't do without one of these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
