Trickel/battery charger for car, where are they?

[paul406]

Hi All

I would like to find a trickle charger or even a standard battery charger for my car.
Does anyone know of a place in Hua Hin where they are available?

thanks for the help

Hi
I went to Pirinporn Plaza on the klong road. They had one model of charger for both 6 & 12 volt
My buddy tested it with a volt meter. The unit only tested good for 6 volts not 12.
Flipped the switch for 12 volt but it never read beyond 6 volts on the meter.
They allowed me to return with no problem.

opposite soi 80 there is a car parts and hardware store, in there they have them, big one $1800 baht

One suggestion would be to find a mate coming over from the West..& ask him to bring you a solar-panel charger..they're not expensive. Just lay the panel on the dash & plug into the cig-lighter socket to keep the car's battery charged-up at a low amps..for free.

Shop on corner of Soi 56 or 58 and Petchkasem Road left hand side going north towards Cha Am. I got a very robust Kyodo battery charger - works very well. Can't remember the price, not overly expensive from recollection

thanks for the update. I am in the states now and found a good brand specifically made as a trickle charger and is water proof. The cost was $35.00

let me know if you have any friends that want me to bring them one. I plan to return to Hua Hin in July

For anybody else looking for a local source, Thai Watsudo at Cha Am has mains powered units.
