Having a decent car battery charger on hand is a must for anyone who owns a vehicle or toy that doesn’t get driven, ridden, piloted or towed on a consistent basis. This isn’t just limited to passenger vehicles, 4WDs, caravans, leisure craft and the like, but also includes motorcycles, jet skis, lawn mowers or anything else with a starting battery that might be given a chance to kill it’s battery if and when stored for any length of time.

Charge Maintenance During Storage
Having the right charger at your disposal when storing your toys can pay for itself in no time flat, no pun intended. This is due to the fact that most lead acid batteries that fail prematurely do so due to being allowed to discharge down to a level that cases the battery to slowly destroy itself. This happens because of desulfation, which is a chemical process that takes place inside all lead acid batteries to some degree, but which substantially increases when a battery is allowed to discharge to a level before ~12.4V. This can be easily avoided by placing a suitably equipped battery charger on the battery when stored.
Periodic Float Charge
Periodically float charging your battery(ies) with a suitable microprocessor-controlled battery charger helps to ensure your battery has a chance to reach its peak state of charge. This not only ensures your battery is always ready to perform but also helps to maximise the service life of the battery, ensuring you get the maximum value for money from your purchase. This is particularly important for batteries fitted to vehicles that only get driven or used for short periods, as the alternator may never be given long enough to properly float charge the battery.
Flat Battery Recovery
When a starting battery is drained to a significant depth of discharge it may no longer have enough power delivery capacity to effectively start the vehicle to which it is fitted. A suitable battery charger is essential in these sorts of situations where your battery has been allowed to discharge below the point where it can crank the engine, as it allows the flat battery to be safely recovered. This can save you the need to prematurely replace an otherwise perfectly serviceable battery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Flat batteries are a common problem for car owners, especially if you don't drive your car regularly. A battery charger can help prevent flat batteries by keeping your battery charged and ready to go between trips.
Most battery chargers are designed to work with a variety of battery types, including lead-acid, AGM, and gel batteries. However, it's important to check the specifications of the charger to ensure it's compatible with your battery. With that said, the overwelming major of flooded batteries can be charged by most modern intelligent battery chargers, whereas more advanced chemistries like AGM and Gel type Valve-Regulated Lead-Acid batteries and lithium batteries can require more exacting boost and float voltages to ensure maximum service life.
When buying a battery charger, there are a few things to consider, including the type of battery you have, the charger's amperage rating, and the charger's safety features. Look for a charger that's compatible with your battery and has a high enough amperage rating to charge your battery quickly. Additionally, look for a charger with safety features like overcharge, reverse polarity and short-circuit protection.
