I need a replacement charger for a Plug in Systems KT12SM. 

Can anyone offer a suitable alternative please?

Looks like a 12A 12V charger, according to a quick web search. You won't go far wrong with a blue box.

10A charger.

10A charger.

I would have thought a CTEK charger would be good enough

Yes, thanks for that, but a modern replacement was what I had in mind as these units are now over 25years old!

CTEK for me. Used all winter keeping the cars ticking over. MXS 10 might fit the bill.

In which case a Victron is about as good as you can get

I had bought the cheaper end 20A charger from Durite to replace a 20 odd year old Halfords auto charger which had been great until it died.

The Durite was replaced twice under warrantee, the last time because it spewed sparks out of the vent.

Gave up and bought a blue Victron for about twice as much and it has been fine, worth the money for peace of mind.

There's a reason Victron sell lots of gear; it's not the cheapest but it's (usually!) properly-designed and well-supported -- and if you've got various bits it's easy to get it all to work together, or add more in the future.
