Last year I bought one of these for £15 at Makro.

I need a new battery for my Trike so I took the back off the unit tonight and found this. It's 177X167X75.

A locost solution?

Might be of interest to the BEC guys out there.

in my experience these cheap units have got a fairly short life span, and dont quote me but i dont think they would like being charged by an alt for too long before going pop

For £15 I'd give it a go! not a lot to lose!

I've had a clarke one for years now. It has a lead specially for charging it from an accessory socket in the car so it should have no problem with that. It will not achieve full charge from an alternator though according to the paperwork with it.
