I wouldn't recommend the Silverline ones either,They are a trickle charger at about a tenner.I have now fried 2 batteries with them,One left on the ride on mower and one on a seven I discovered the other day had gone the same way. I don't think they shut down but keep charging at 1/2 an amp or so.
Really annoyed as the Lucas motor cycle battery on the 7 to replace with discount was £57.
Being lazy after leaving the car for a few months and recharging the battery I tried to start the car,starter motor spun up but dog didn't throw out.After a couple of similar attempts same result so let it run faster to which the dog threw out,bang,and bent the shaft....
Although the battery voltage read 12-13v as soon as a load was put on it the voltage dropped to 2v.
Luckily managed to straighten the motor shaft.
