Car Battery Chargers

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.
