Title: Battery
Post by: Bishops Finger on January 03, 2011, 03:47:30 PM

Battery in the TJ has packed up...last worked 2 weeks ago

Beasring in mind its hardly been used and when it last packed up in the spring the RAC said it wasnt holding full charge but worked OK should I get a battery charger and charge it or a new battery?

My thinking is a new battery..

New battery & a decent charger like an Optimate you can leave it plugged to, so no matter how long you leave it, it'll be ready for when you want it  :icon_winkle:

Have used an optimate for years on my bikes, the ctek ones are recomended on Der Panzer forum.

Shop around for prices & dont be tempted by the cheap ones  :003:
