Four stage charger - Lidl (1 Viewer)

[Mags52]

We are in Estartit and yesterday found a German made automatic four stage battery charger for €18 - delighted! Not sure if they'll be in UK Lidls but it might be worth a look.
So now I have a question - if I want to charge our leisure batteries do I have to disconnect them from the solar and the Sargent controller before I charge them? They are AGM batteries.
Thanks
Mags

In theroy if they are all connected in parallel it should sort itself out and the one with the highest output would take over but in practice I would disconnect the Sargent.
As they are AGM batteries I would only charge them with a charger that has a dedicated AGM charging regime otherwise you will find their life will be considerably shortened.

It has an AGM setting. Thanks for the advice Mags

Lucky so and so
Just gone through the Lidl UK website and the best thing there is a trolley jack

Just double checked ALDI (why more like Tesco every day) and they had ods all motoring stuff
