Battery charger

Looking for a decent battery charger for my D4, I'm only doing short journeys mostly and now that I have two blackvues installed, the battery could do with being topped up.

Is this one suitable for the D4? I believe it was the replacment for the CTEK XS3600

If not, recomendations please - preferably not too expensive!

One more question, would it be possible to wire this up so that it can use the 's' towing electrics socket on my D4?

Managed to get it for £51.42 from Amazon, arrived Friday and charged the battery up over the weekend, I was only able to give it 4 hours on the Saturday (was still on stage 3 when I disconnected it) and then all day on Sunday - decided to put in recondition mode on Sunday. What a difference, no more messages on the screen and you can tell the D4 has more electrical power at startup.

Will have to look at getting a connector so I can use the towing electrics in the future, as this would be a lot easier. Would then be able to just have this cable coming out under the garage door instead of a power extension outside and having to keep an eye on the weather. Also this way would be able to fully lock the car too - because the bonnet was open, vehicle would not lock unless used the emergency key Evil or Very Mad
