Cheers for that, worked a treat. Ordered the 70Ah battery for just £33.74, plus I get a free gift  :D

Even got free delivery, so saves me going to pick it up, really can't complain at that.  :y

My classic car battery has been on the car for over 15 yrs and is laid  up most of the time but it always has a conditioner connected.Dont ask me how much electricity it has used over that period.

I just get:


"Sorry,

Maybe they have run out near you?  :-\ - But I thought the delivery vans just operate out of the local stores?

Worth collecting though, even at that price.  :y

I'm fully aware they won't be as good as say Bosch, but I'm keeping the receipt safe, so I can replace it in 2 years  ::)

You can collect, still get free Gift and 10% but not sure if you get the Top cashback.

Should work something like this -

Sign In to Topcashback, go to ECP,
Click 4th option down, 10% off Batteries and Gift.
Go's to ECP,
Buy Battery for Delivery, £37
Check Out and enter GIFT10 in promo box.
Battery gets 10% off, now £33.70
Free Winter Pack gets added, worth £20.
Checkout and pay,
Additional £5.30 (-15.75%) gets added to your Top cashback account.
So in theory battery costs, £28.40 plus free £20 Gift.  :y

Don't blame me if the Top cashback thing doesn't work with other promo's, you know what there like.

I'm not sure you should be worrying about the trivial eergy useage of a trickle-charger, but let's try....
It's unlikely that trickling a full battery will use more than 10 watts at the outside, so over a day you have 240W-h, or approx. 1/4 kW-h, which is roughly 2kW-h per week, or 2 Units per week at whatever it costs you from your energy supplier. This is approx. 100 Units per year, and if you assume 15 years of constant trickle (unlikely?), 1,500 Units - did you really want to know this?

Is a trickle charger the same as a conditioner. As I have sold my classic car I no longer have to worry about the cost. :y
