Battery Charger

[Taff]

Can you use a car battery charger to keep a leisure battery charged up?

Hi Steve,

Short answer is yes!

Thanks James. Puts my mind at rest.

Hello Steve,

The short answer is yes, but the longer answer is not continuously. Most ordinary car battery charges produce a rather coarse output voltage that will over charge any battery. For long term maintenance charging it is worth investing in a smart charger which automatically controls the charge current. These are not cheap but having to replace damaged batteries is more expensive. (CTEK comes to mind)
