"Low battery warning - start car"

Been getting this message over the last 6 weeks. Garage said battery is fine so am confused.
Forum states to purchase CTEK 7.0

Is this correct? If i do buy it is it easy to use?

Many thanks

Yes, easy to use. If you have twin electrics or the 13 pin type then you can charge via an adaptor lead from the shop on here. Or simply connect to battery and earth point....lots of posts on here about it Thumbs Up Visitor from fullfatrr.com

A CTEK 5.0 should be plenty.

I just put a ctek plug in the boot.

I ordered a M8 comfort connector off ebay £4.95. (they are a bit longer)

Removed the left trim panel and connected it to where a towbar would plug in (thick green/brown wire)

I get the same warning if I park up and put the TVs on, this warning comes in at about 2min later.
Never understood the TV, as you can not watch it when driving ( fair enough) but you can also not watch when parked as the battery warning comes on.
I know my battery is good as the car often sits for 3 weeks and still starts first time.
I do have a ctek though just in case it all dies Lot of Landcruisers now sold

I get warnings when TV or DVD playing, and strangely the Radio turns itself off after 15 minutes if put on to listen to. Crying or Very sad John
