I could probably do with a smarter battery charger so may as well get one with recondition mode, any recommendations for something good value?
Only puts out6 amps, ok for a car lead acid but very slow for a big battery, that's if it will do the trick, is their mounting holes, mine is fixed in the van and runs of the EHU socket.I just bought this one as it seems to do what I want at a great price too.

The one you posted is for workshop use, not a permanent unit.
I use one of these 7 stage 20 amp ones from Alpha
12v 20A 7 Stage Connect & Forget Automatic Smart Battery Charger with UK Plug - Alpha Batteries
Suitable for all 12v Car, Leisure and Commercial Batterieswww.alpha-batteries.co.uk
Used every few months on the 3 x 100ah leisure batteries in winter when solar isn't doing anything....
The 3 flooded lead acids still sit at rest at 12.7 amps
Even after 5 years of heavy use.
Not the cheapest BUT well built and deff does what it says on the tin as far as charging/maintaining batteries goesI have the same one and very pleased with it.
It gets borrowed quite a lot at the marina where I moor my boat!
Those £10 pwm regulators only half do the job, but needs mustI just use the solar on van now. My dads proper old charger broke 2 years ago. I've not replaced it.
Our bambi has a 80w solar panel pushed in windscreen, with cheap £10 controller. I run that about if I need power for wet batteries.
