My in-laws have an ornament on their drive, in the shape of a 2001 MGF roadster.  I say ornament because it's fairly stationery, all of the time.  Even so, it's battery gets topped up once in a while and the engine turned over when the urge presents itself.  Because the car isn't used, the battery's only means of charge is via a plug-in charger, my father-in-law occasionally hooks up.

FixItWorkshop, March'18, Ultimate Speed (Lidl) Battery Charger.

The battery charger in question is an Ultimate Speed (Lidl brand) universal battery charger.  They've been on sale in the UK for a number of years at the £15 (approx.) mark.  They're really good value as they allow 'smart charging' of car and motorcycle batteries without the risk of damage at a fraction of the price of the 'big brands' or a replacement battery.

However, this charger decided that it wasn't playing anymore and refused to offer it's charging services when recently connected to the MG's flat battery.  On it's way to the great bin in the sky, I managed to divert the charger via the workshop.

Once connected to the mains, the standby light illuminated, indicating something was actually happening, but upon connecting the low voltage side to a battery, making a charge selection via the single push-button switch, nothing changed and the whole unit remained on standby.  Pretty annoying.

Luckily, I have the triangular screwdriver required to undo the six screws that hold the (IP) ingress protected casing together.  Triangular screw heads are annoying and pointless as they prevent, in my opinion, people with a basic tool set having a go at a repair like this.  If you do fancy getting one of these tools, they are easily available on Amazon and eBay.
