Well I'm off to points south for 5 months in September. The Patrol will be mothballed on wheel stands & battery charger. Any other suggestions for the duration?

I am chasing a decent charger and wheel stands. After doing the rounds I reckon a C Teck charger (10 amp for 2 gel batts) and some cheap Chinese stands or second hand for both.

So does anyone have any tips for procuring said items, as I only need them for 6 months total and I don't want to spend a fortune.

Cheers

Steve

Still a little gun shy of the battery charger price though.

Hi Steve. If you do use concrete make sure they are set up the way they are normally laid to form a wall and with a piece of timber on top. I have seen them crumble quite easily if used on their side. Bob.
