Cheers Ian Thumbs Up

Car is about to stay stationary in the cold for a few days and I reckon my XS3600 (at max 3.6A) will not do the trick of maintaining it... So looking at the MXS 7.0 (or should I opt for the MXS 10.0???)

So for normal maintenance and trickle charging connected should not be a problem... ==> Guide - Inexpensive AV Modification

xs3600 will be fine for keeping it maintained no problem.

I have a MXS25 which copes well with main and aux batteries connected. (when I had the Trailer, it was charging almost 300Ah of batteries).

MXS 7 or 10 will be better if you want to recondition the battery once a year Thumbs Up How To ? - Change your Brake Disks Pads Shoes Sensors August 2011 NEW V1.6a

Thanks again Thumbs Up

Forgot to mention there's a Traxide charging a Yellow Top under the bonet as well... Embarassed

Would the 3600 still do the trick (for maintenance as above)? ==> Guide - Inexpensive AV Modification

Not really, you should go for the 7 or 10 IMHO. Thumbs Up How To ? - Change your Brake Disks Pads Shoes Sensors August 2011 NEW V1.6a

Thought as much, thanks Ian Thumbs Up

There was I keeping high hopes Rolling Eyes (though I guess I can always disconnect the Traxide temporarily...)

May invest in a MXS 10 after all, worth the investment I think in light of my setup (and the cost of a new main battery!!!) ==> Guide - Inexpensive AV Modification

England 2008 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Zermatt SilverDiscovery 3

Have 4 Cteck all working well most recent MXS 7 which charges my caravan leisure battery, very large digger battery, and anything else I throw at it.
Have 2 banner versions one died quite early in life and second not working correctly recently.
Tried an Oxford which only lasted a short time.
So no prizes for which I recommend.
