The best battery charger kit?

[cwalkero]

Hey guys my 350z hasnt been driven in a few weeks and the battery has gone dead. Any recommendations on a good charge startup kit?

This.

 

It's an emergency lamp, jumper coil & compressor all rolled into one.

I quite fancied that one and it works on 3.5l engines?

Works on mine!

I bought that pack you suggested. Just waiting on it charging. Am I reading this correctly with the instructions? It says that the red + clamp should be connected to the + on the cars battery but the black - clamp should not be connected to the - negative on the car battery?

I have a couple of these.

Starts the Z and my Infiniti easily.

I leave it in the car.

If you regulalrly leave the car and don't start it for weeks and you have a garage get a ctek charger http://www.ctek.com/gb/en Contunually deep discharging your battery will cause sulphation in the cells and eventually lead to battery failure.

CTEK MXS 5.0

Use it on the 370 and the 350 before it.

Charges and conditions the battery. You can buy extra extension leads, and comes with the option to fit a connector direct to the battery.

+1 for Ctek

Another + 1 for the ctek MXS 5.0 charger.

+1 for Ctek mxs5.0. I've got a couple of the additional hard wire kits.

I dont know if I am doing something wrong but this charger seems to be doing nothing. My car battery is now completely dead. http://www.ebay.com/itm/272020876707

Connect from the jump pack to the batter positive.

Connect the negative from the jump pack to a suitable ground point on your car (not the negative terminal on your battery).

It's giving you the correct order on which to attach the electrodes.

 

Sparks can theoretically ignite hydrogen gas created by the ionization of battery fluids (hydrolysis) and cause injury - all they are doing is saving themselves from litigation if you hurt yourself.

I managed to get it working. Is that normal though to get the sparks from the negative clamp when you attached it to say the inside bodywork?
