Seems to depend on the "was" price, the Aldi/Lidl one will do the same job at 3.8 Amps maxfor about £14. where CTEK win is with the higher capacity chargers my PC is slightly to the right of Genghis

Thanks for the heads up. FL2 TD4 GS 60 reg Facelift - so many issues
2019 DS. Terribly unreliable.
Sold DS for a 2021 Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Fingers crossed....
Sold Outlander for a 2014 SD4 SE Tech because I’m mental
Now greatly regret selling the Outlander. MPG of the FL2 is atrocious and so are the fuel bills. Fun though 😎
Couldn’t afford the fuel bills so back to an older Mitsubishi Outlander PHEV. Significantly better than I remembered it to be…

Hi just got the Aldi charger while it's still in stock.having read meny ideas on here ,is it safe to charge the battery in the car with it connected.also if you feed the cables out could you have it locked .as my freelander lives outside due to garage hight.

Yes and yes. My CTEK connects through the towbar socket. No problem at all.

And if you do not have a tow bar you can still connect to the battery and feed the cables out between bonnet and wing (there is enough gap) then close bonnet and lock car. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

If I go the trailer socket root which terminals do you connect to?,also what cable size 2.5mm ?

I would normally just put the appropriate connector on the existing battery charger lead and plug that in. If you are planning on using an extra long cable from the charger to the towbar then the size will be dependent on length due to voltage drop.

There is a voltage drop calculator at https://www.12voltplanet.co.uk/cable-sizing-selection.html which may be of use. FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

Thanks for that I will have a look tomorrow.

Or you could just fit Anderson connectors which can also be used for jump starting

"Fiat Lux" a philosophy not a car

What do you know its the small trailer socket.i will have to make up my own lead .i will use 2.5mm to a plug in socket.see how it goes.
