If it's kept outside, just hook it up to a solar charger from Maplin, it works!
Yes I noticed that in the instructions too
I ignored it - I am a man after all!
So in my QP the battery stays in situ and I attach the crocodile clips of the Lidl special to the leads of the battery as close to the terminals as I can - not on the terminal posts themselves, usually the metal post clamps.
The -ive terminal clamp is easy to access. The +ive is a bit dodgy to get a grip on but I have managed without too much trouble
The battery charges up fine like this as denoted by the green fully charged LED on the the charger
I use the c tek and leave the battery connected, although I do leave the boot open too to allow ventilation just in case. Belt and braces.
