Soldato
I have been looking at the CTEK MXS 5.0 charger as well but for almost the same price I can get a brand new Silver Dynamic 561400060 Varta battery (£72 for the charger from Amazon or £68 click & collect from Halfords after FOC discount, and £73 for the battery from Tanya).
My Fiesta ST is just over 5 years old now so the battery is from new but would normally get a regular charge on my drive to work each day (~19 miles each way). I had the car MOT'd and serviced at the beginning of March and there were no issues highlighted (but don't remember seeing any battery check in the paperwork this time).
The only benefit of getting the charger would be that I could charge my father/brother's BMW diesel estate (2017) which has been SORN'd since the lockdown.
So question for me is new battery for me or charger for both cars?
