Car battery chargers

Battery charger car - Car batteries are the beating heart of a car, so it’s important that you look after them. And what would happen if that heart stops beating, maybe due to you leaving the lights on, the temperature has dropped or because you only take short journeys? Maybe you don't drive your car every day, or maybe you have a boat, motorcycle, or other vehicle that is only used infrequently. Is your car stored for the winter or other seasons? There's a chance the car won’t start again when you take it out of storage. These are reasons why a car battery dies, but most of the times, car battery chargers will fix the issue that your car battery is experiencing, get you right back on the road and even extend battery life by up to three times. Our dedicated maintenance modes also mean, that if you do have a vehicle in storage you can attach a battery charger for the entire time without risk of over or undercharging the car batteries. You need a car battery charger to deal with such a situation.

Things to think about when buying car battery chargers or a car battery charger

There are a few things to consider when looking to select a car battery charger or car battery chargers. You should first be aware of your car's battery capacity - this is specified in Ampere hour or Amp hour (Ah) - and engine size – In many cases there are different car battery chargers for different sizes of car battery. For example a smaller battery found in motorcycles and classic cars can be charged with a lower output charger compared to a bigger high-performance car – your charger's output power needs to increase with engine size. Make sure the one you plan to purchase is sturdy enough for your vehicle’s engine.

Battery type is the other factor. There are car battery chargers designed to work with lead-acid and / or lithium batteries. In the case of lead-acid car battery chargers, some may only work with specific chemistries such as wet-flooded, Gel, AGM.

You can look in the car's manual or under the hood to find out battery size, type and chemistry.

What are the functions of a car battery charger to consider?

Although the primary purpose of car battery chargers is to recharge your car battery,  it is worth considering battery maintenance too and there are  some features and functions that can actually help to extend battery life by up to three times. So consider maintenance. If you don’t have dedicated maintenance modes for batteries on vehicle that are in storage for long periods of time you risk over or under-charging the battery. Reconditioning mode is good to recover seemingly dead lead-acid batteries and a dedicated wake-up mode for lithium batteries is important if the battery has shut-down due to in-built battery management systems.

Consequently, when choosing which model to purchase, you shouldtake  how you are going to be using car battery chargers into consideration.  We have pulled together a summary of some of our best-selling chargers to help you choose the right car battery chargers.
