A battery charger is vital to ensure your car is in good enough condition to start on those cold early mornings. CTEK (ctek.com) makes our favourite charger – the £44.99 MXS 3.6 – and has also just launched its all-new £109.95 MXS 5.0 Test & Charge. This will not only keep your battery topped up, but it’ll also measure voltage and starting power. Plus, it can identify the charging performance of the car’s alternator.
