    Hi all, I'm looking for a reasonably priced ac charger for my camper leisure battery. I have solar and charging from the alternator but I want to be able to recharge the battery either in my house or when I am on hookup.

    Can anyone recommend anything - even the official renogy ones are over a €100 which seems mad.

    It's a piece of kit that I would not compromise on, given what it does/where it is.

    I paid 123 for the normal one I have, I have just fitted the Li under seat battery so looks like I need to replace the onboard CBE516: the B2B and solar kit is switchable from gel to Li

    True, it's not something I'd trust a no-name or aliexpress job for but the brand name ones seems overly expensive. It's actually €180 for the Renogy own brand!

    If you find anything suitable, let me know,

    All you need is a constant current power supply of the appropriate output voltage, there are plenty sold for every conceivable battery voltage on Ali express for ebikes which are very reliable. The battery should have an internal BMS for further protection.
