It is not just important having a battery charger, but it is even more important to have the right battery charger. Most of us are not engineers or mechanics – but we still want to be able to fix and prevent battery problems in a simple way. The battery charger must be guaranteed to be free from problems and safe for all users and as regards the vehicle or machine, be simple to operate so that anyone can use it and be flexible enough to satisfy the many different needs.
In fact, why is it necessary to charge the batteries?
The answer is short, but very important:
• Lead acid batteries need maintaining charging, to ensure achievement of their expected life.
• It is a good investment. In the long term it is cheaper to buy a charger, than to replace the batteries.
• Vehicles are expected to be reliable and to start when needed. The answer is in regular charging.
• Good for the environment. Buying unnecessary batteries increases the use of lead, transport and waste collection.
• Modern vehicles with extensive electronics are discharging battery even when parked.
