The older cars I have owned enabled a battery charger to be attached to the battery without disconnecting it from the car. All the newer cars insist upon the battery being disconnected first, to protect the CPU, which means having to reset such things as the radio every time. I searched for a product that would overcome this and have found the CTEK XS3600. I am delighted with it. Not only can it be connected to the battery without the above hassles, but it can be left on and will keep the battery topped up, giving peace of mind. I have not had to use it much, but so far it has worked very well, charging the battery quickly and leaving it in tip top condition.
