Is anyone up for buying the CTEK XS3600 battery charger and conditioner.  This is the one that Porsche provides under  their brand name.  They get fantastic reviews.

They retail at £54.99, but if we get a few of us together we can get it for about £44 plus delivery.

here's some info: ctek xs3600

Any takers?

Great idea on the group buy Pete, forums should do more of these.
Alas i already have a decent charger/conditioner or would be up for this.

I've been using a similar device called the CSI Airflow for years, originally bought from Autofarm. It works a treat but is still going strong so I don't need a new one!

Why do you need one?
I fired the old girl up last sunday after nearly 4 weeks of all that horrible weather,
she fired up first spin.
If you need one of these I would suggest your battery is a bit suspect.

Funnily enough I did have a problem.  See here

I solved that, and bought a new battery while I was at it.  Seems like after a few weeks it does get low though.  My engine also takes a bit more power to crank because of high compression and back pressure.

I would still check the usual culprits, make sure the earths are clean, and vaseline the battery terminals, and earth points.
The biggest drain on a battery is usually the starter lead...........
make sure it's secured properly, and the joints are sound.
