Every time car chargers come up we get the same set of questions
As the poster above hints have a look at the CTEK site for the Dogs danglies when it comes to chargers, .
These(lidl/aldi) are clones that do enough for most people at sensible prices.
connect and forget till you need the car.
this is a 3.8A your closest CTEK is the MXS 3.8(£40-£50),
a good mid ranges is the 5A version MXS 5.0(£40-£60)
For more rapid charging you need a different product with higher currents, not all are connect and forget.
if you want to start you car now you don't need a charger you need another battery(car or battery pack starter).

they come with a 3 year guarantee, I've had the aldi and lidl version of this for about 5 years with no problems, use them both regularly for motorhome.

I've had 2 of these over the past 5 or 6 years both failed after 2 years after a handful of uses. Would never buy again.....

if its 6v or 12v yes. you can also leave it charging constantly, to keep it charged.
it usually gets posted when its available so loads of info on previous postings.

..Aldi do reduce these, if your near an Aldi, may be worth popping in, my local had them yesterday at £10.99...but have seen as low as £6.99...
Not sure on quality, but usual 3 years of warranty, can't really go wrong

This will be a white-good rebranding, does anybody know which one it is? The most important part is how fast it charges and it doesn't say.

Approximately how long does it take to charge a flat battery?

Quite a slow output voltage. Think it read max 3.8a so will take a good 24hrs plus to fully charge a decent sized car battery. Personally would spend a bit more for one with a higher rated output. Plenty circa 20/25 quid on amazon. Maypole to a 12v output with fast charge which is pretty good. Not sure if amazon was also still doing 15% off first car product orders.
