Just make sure it's not just a charger . The B&D is a "float charger" which means it turns itself on and off as needed to maintain the battery.

Yep, it switches into the maintenance mode and acts as a trickle charger as soon as the charge is reached.

You can but the same product here ($69.95) if you don't care about the label.

Looks like I paid $8 too much .Lol
But $28 is still better than $120 for the "genuine" Porsche charger .

The CTEK 3300 that I got last month came with the clamps and eyelet connectors. The cig plug is not included. I didn't think the Porsche label was worth 60 bucks.
