Alex08 is there any chance of some pictures of what you have done.

With regards to the CTEK charger can anybody provide assistance on the following, the info states that they are suitable for lead acid batteries, I thought the D3 battery was a calcium battery, will this charger still be suitable and safe.

England 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Manual Arctic FrostDiscovery 3

Just been to Costco and they don't have any.

But been to Lidl and they don't have any left, but manager said if I e-mail them and they have one at another branch they will send it to my local branch.

If all this fails I am going to buy the original one or the better one DiscoDunc has.

I've been using a battery tender on my D2 - as it doesn't get regular use now I have the LR3.



Deltran SuperSmart Battery Tender Plus 12-Volt 1.25 AMP Battery Charger

Easy to fit - either using croc clips or the bolt-on eyelets - has a quick connect/disconnect plug inline on the 12v cable.

Can be left connected 24/7/365 and it will maintain your battery in optimum condition.

Worth the money to keep your battery in great condition Thumbs Up

Just bought this today.



£12.58, 3 year guarantee. Is this definitely ok to connect up when the battery is connected?

yep - no issues - have done it on Porsche cars for years with no problems and happy long lasting batteries.

As long as it's a maintainer, and not a straight charger, you're good to go.

Thanks cdodkin Thumbs Up

If it detects a fully charged battery it switches to Trickle Charge Function.
