Economy mode and battery charger

After 6 months or so and maybe too many short journies car often goes to economy mode when I use radio and sat nav with engine off. Might buy car battery trickle charger with cigar lighter plug in - any views? Some rumours that these style devices damage car computers. What do you all think?

Hi PJGlos, welcome to the forum. I use an Accumate trickle charger on my Honda VFR800 motorcycle which has been laid to rest for most of last year. My bike has a motion sensor alarm fitted. This goes into sleep mode if it has not been activated by turning on the ignition for some time. This alarm even in sleep mode drains the battery and makes it so useless that I have to fit a new battery. Since being coupled onto the trickle charger I have had no battery problems. The battery is always fully charged for me to start the bike, which I do periodically throughout the year. My bike does not have as much electronic gizmo stuff as my RCZ but I cannot see it being a problem. The guys from Accumate will be able to give you advice. I am sure someone on the forum will have additional information. :greetings-wavingblue:

I use a Ctek charger on my Audi quattro and my step dad uses the same on his mada RX8. They work very well and have caused no problems. I think that Ctek supply to ferrari and aston martin as original equipment.
