Over Winter
Guys, does anyone know how much energy (roughly) a car battery charger/conditioner uses? My car is over at my parents and I want to keep the battery alive over winter whilst I'm not using it.
Thanks Andrew

I've found this:
CTEK MXS 3.8 Battery Conditioner - Features Auto: Fully automatic for optimal charging 12V: For all lead-acid batteries Fully Charged Battery / Maintenance Charging COLD/AGM: Charging in cold conditions and AGM batteries Volts: 12V Rated Voltage: AC 220-240VAC, 50-60Hz Charging voltage: SMALL, NORMAL: 14.4V, COLD/AGM: 14.7V Minimum battery voltage: 2.0V Charging current: 3.6A max Current: mains 0.65A rms (at full charging current) Back current drain: <1Ah/month, ripple: <4% Ambient temperature: -20°C to +50°C, output power is reduced automatically at high temperatures Charger type: 4-step, fully automatic charging cycle Battery types: All types of 12V lead-acid batteries (WET, MF, Ca/Ca, AGM and GEL) Battery capacity: 7-75Ah up to 120Ah for maintenance Dimensions:165 x 61 x 38mm (L x W x H), weight: 0.5kg Insulation class: IP65 IF I've got the calculation right then that's 156 Watts at full charging current so it'll be way, way less than that on a maintenance charge. |
