Its a fancy battery charger that allegedly monitors the state of the battery and tops up the charge,if required.
The jury is out to whether they actually work tho!

Well, my one doesn't....lasted just over a year then died when it realised it was a month past warranty

I just went and got a Halfrauds special battery charger. It's about the size of a small shed and I just cut the old optimate lead off and used it to make a cable for the halfords jobbie.

I don't bother to leave it permanently connected now, just leave it on overnight every couple of weeks.
