Does anyone use or have any experience of ctek chargers,i'm thinking of getting one as i'm having troubles with the vehicle battery going flat now the van is not in regular use in winter (fairweather campers),the one i've seen is the xs800 which says it should be suitable for vehicles that are seasonally stored and seems a bargain at under 30 quid.
Where are you storing your van, is it indoors or external?
If external, have you considered a temporary solar panel, say placed on the roof, and the lead fed to the engine compartment and clipped directly to the engine battery.
Bought the Ctek 3.6A charger few years ago and has been working fine until recently when I noticed it was always charging at max voltage ie 14.2v it never appeared to drop to the lower 13v.
I now use the much cheaper Lidl equivalent smart charger under the name of Ultimate Speed and that does work in that it charges between the lower and higher volts depending on the state of the battery.
I have two Ctek chargers the latest version has the ability to give 12volt output so that a battery can changed without losing codes - excellent piece of kit

The above is only a personal opinion
They are fitted as standard by Aston Martin - think that is recommendation enough. Keep the battery of my car parked in my garage in Spain charged up when we are not there, they will not over charge the battery - just keeps it fully charged.
