Title: Stop your battery going flat - Cheap charger
Post by: scollist on September 15, 2021, 05:09:28 pm
Hi everyone,

With the lack of use of our toys, they have a tendency to have a flat battery just when you want to use them (very relevant for anyone with a 6G Mustang ).

The market standard for 'battery tenders' to keep permanently attached and keep your battery charged when you're not using the toy is CTEK. E.g. a CTEK MXS 5.0 which I have and works great - https://www.ctek.com/au/battery-chargers-12v-24v/mxs-5-0-aus (https://www.ctek.com/au/battery-chargers-12v-24v/mxs-5-0-aus).  These are usually around the $120 to $200 range.

However, I saw today that Kogan are advertising a similar type of charger of their own in-house Certa brand for $23.99 (down from $99.99) - https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/certa-smart-battery-charger/ (https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/certa-smart-battery-charger/)

Seems like a real bargain.  Obviously do your own research though (caveat emptor).

Cheers
Shane

P.S. Move quickly as Kogan has a tendency to dynamically change their pricing depending on supply and demand.

I think this low price indicates they have over ordered their inventory and need to move it (there was an article in the news a couple of weeks ago that confirms this).  As their inventory drops the price will rise.
