Just to confirm that the CTEK chargers are excellent!
I have the 7 amp one in the garage for general charging use and a 25 amp one in the caravan for charging its 130 AH battery from the generator.
They charge as quickly as practicable whilst still looking after the batteries health and life.
Cheers - John

Well, I just ordered a MULTI XS 7000, so I suppose I'll soon see for myself. Did some more searching and all I could find was excellent reviews, so I guess it won't be too shabby.
Found a bloke in Adelaide (on eBay) selling them for $190,- which I figured was a fairly good deal.
I got mine from Repco and asked for their best price. $195 - for the 7000.
I now have it wired into the engine compartment so that it is easy to plug in and charge especially when at the caravan park and so I put it on to charge the second battery and supply to the fridge as well. Ace. I can also charge the camper battery isolated from the car. The car has wetcell, the camper - AGM.
Ordered it Sunday night, got confirmation Monday and it arrived Tuesday. Can't ask for better than that!
The charger itself has given my Waeco RAPS36 the highest charge ever. With Waeco's own Mobitronic 14A charger I have recently only been getting up to about 12.6V, which would soon drop to about 12.5V without any load. The Ctek cranked it up to 13.3V, which then stabilised to 12.9V. Accoring to Waeco it's supposed to stabilise to about 12.8V, so it's doing 'better than spec'.
