Many thanks

I've got the older version of that charger Ben.
Takes about 4 hours for a full charge, from memory.

Really....?
I would have thought around 12 hours if it was empty....

Not in my experience.
I've flattened the battery and put it on charge overnight. Checked it before I've gone to bed and it's gone green.
Just my experience though...

£40 christ, i paid £20 for it and i thought it was expensive at that. Managed to get mine in the sale!

make sure you stick to sealed otherwise it wont charge.

110Ah battery, 8A charger.

If its totally, utterly, completely flat, 110/8 = 13.75 hours.  And that assumes the spec of the charger isnt exaggerated.  And that it doesnt slow down the charge rate as it gets full.

Id give it a minimum 24 hours to be sure.

Is that not a little bit annoying charging a battery every night?

(i presume it only lasts a day)

CTEK battery chargers are best by far.

Think machine mart sells them, and also amazon.

No!
If I was you I would take it off charge and check the water levels in each cell.
I would be surprised if you have not cooked the battery.

Means its still charging then, anyway to check the volts in battery or amps?
