Hey guys
I'm after a new battery charger for the shed as mine pood itself on the weekend. any recommendations?
Found this one on ebay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/141244940851?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
thoughts?
Batteries in the Patrol are both ACDelco marine jobs. 730/90 and 830/110 with a Redarc bcdc1225.
Second question - with the Redarc is it ok to jump start to the crank battery from the second without disconnecting the Redarc unit?

Yes Lucas it looks huge. Thought it might have been a jumper pack but apparently not.
Clunk which model ?
Any advice on jumping from the second battery in the patrol?
