Less powerful, seems to lack bass, sound is not as "rich" (could be related to my speakers).
That all being said it is quite good for a kitchen setup.

Nice setup! Maybe you could install a graphic equaliser on your phone and add some extra bass?

Why would you need a specific charger for a start/stop vehicle, a battery is a battery and has the same charge requirements no matter how it's used?

No, a battery isn't a battery. Some cars have AGM batteries which require a different charging profile.

Think they marketing it for people who do short journeys in their cars with stop start feature, the premise being that your battery will not be fully charged by the alternator due to the short journey and the car having stop start..

I was looking at this. Looks nifty. Why would one want 4 Bluetooth sources at the same time? So that you don't have to re-pair each device whenever you want to have this thing connect to it?

And what's with the outputs being 4 speakers, rather than 2 (stereo) or 5 (surround)?

I've just never encountered something like this before, so these are genuine questions...

You do not have 4 simultaneous BT sources - just the ability to pair 4 devices and switch to any one of them at the press of a button on the remote. The speakers are stereo - as with many amplifiers it provides for two sets - lets call it speaker set A and B (could be in different rooms). This device is great for doing a stealth installation linked to normal speakers which effectively converts them to BT speakers. Hope this helps?

Ordering some of these... looks lekka. Should do the trick on my balcony with a few ceiling mount speakers.

Ah, thanks!

That all makes sense.

I'm not sure I could justify buying this but I still think it's a cool thing.

The standard Ctek chargers already have the option to switch between flooded and agm batteries, i don't see a need for stop start specific charger.

That I agree with. Not sure what that means. My point was that there's a difference between the Ctek chargers which are in general more expensive, and a cheaper option from say Bosch, though they also make chargers with an AGM profile.
 
Pick n Pay Hyper.

30-40% cheaper than anywhere else

Exactly, you get the correct charger for whatever chemistry and charge rate you require.

Obviously they are marketing to the clueless, stop start charger lol.
