SMART CHARGERS
Cold weather means batteries drain more quickly and could therefore benefit from a top-up charge. Ring Automotive has launched three new chargers that automatically stop charging when the battery is full and maintain the charge at the right level. This means you can plug it in overnight without worrying about running up a huge electricity bill. The chargers cost £39.99, £59.99 or £79.99 depending on battery size.

TAKEAWAY SAVIOUR
Being stuck in a traffic jam worrying about your takeaway curry getting cold need never happen again. This fully insulated heater bag will keep food warm until you get home. The bag is heated via a cable that plugs into the car’s 12V cigar lighter socket, and because it is so well insulated, when the heating element is off it will act as a cool bag keeping the contents cold. The bag comes with a carry handle and costs £9.99 plus carriage from RoadPro on 01327 312 233 (www.roadpro.co.uk)
