Battery Power Maintain
When doing things such as an ECU Flash or running an iiD on your car its recommended to keep battery power levels up to prevent problems if it drops voltage. Without using a boost pack to connect to the battert what mains plug in battery chargers would you recommend? The sole use would be to connect to the car and leave charging whilst my iiD is running so i dont need to worry about battery drain.D4 MY10 - SOLD Thanks to ULEZ!

The 7.0 is ok for charging, but would not maintain the power required for long periods of time (depending what you are trying to do with the IID)
I use the mxs 25 which gives you 25amp supply mode.Bodsys Brake Bible

Ultimately a charger of any description is a no no while updating, as Bodsy advises you need a power supply or a charger with a dedicated supply facility.
A charger connected while updating may and can damage ECU ‘s.It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.
