Gareth,
I've got a couple of these which I'm really pleased with, I also have experience with some of the more expensive ones and if I needed another tomorrow would get another of these

It'll take approx 1 Hr to charge them and they come with the leads installed / crocodile clips to connect to a battery at the field.
