About our car battery chargers

A flat battery can stop a journey before it even starts, but with a battery charger, you’re the one with the power. There are many reasons why your battery might be flat. Over time, car batteries can lose their power and efficiency, extreme weather can deplete them, or you could simply have left the lights on by accident.

How to use a car battery charger

Whatever the reason for losing charge, a battery charger can help get you back on the road quickly. Car battery chargers use the mains supply to recharge your battery. Once plugged in, simply attach the charger to the correct terminals on your car’s battery and it will restore its power.

Trickle battery charger

Car battery chargers aren’t only great at fixing flats, they can also be used to provide what’s called a maintenance charge. The electricity is ‘trickled’ to your car’s battery, keeping it healthy while the car isn’t being used, when in storage, for example. Some of these are even solar-powered, running on the free electricity from the sun!

Are jump starters a better option?

If you need an instant burst of power, then a jump starter may be a better choice. These devices attach to your car’s battery. Switch them on and it will provide enough charge to get your engine running again. The jump starter can be recharged by plugging it into the mains.

Selecting the right car battery charger or jump starter depends on the size of your car, the type (whether it’s automatic or not) and your budget.
