Hi does anyone have any recommendations or links for a leisure battery charger while the caravan is sat in storage?'
Thanks in advance

Where will the battery be? At home or in the van? Will power be available?
If you have the van at home, I would use a small smart charger. The ones from Aldi or Lidl's come recommended. I think these are OK to be left on, but I would set a phone reminder for say once per fortnight. And just keep it topped up.

Any 'smart' charger should do the job. Noco and Ctec seem to have the best reputation but they are at the pricier end of available options. At the other end the Lidl and Aldi offerings are fairly well regarded. Personally I was using an Optimate, only because I had one from my motorcycling days when the bike sat in the garage for most of winter. I've recently bought a small solar panel that I sit in the skylight, it's only 25 watt so I'm waiting to see if it will be enough during winter months.
I use AA one, cheap and does the job.

Sorry I don't know how to do links, I'm a auld foggy. It's a small yellow one and on box it says Battery charger and maintenar, think it was about £25.
If you are planning on charging in van in storage just use vans inbuilt charger.
Use a solar panel. Problem solved.
