Vehicle batteries
A dead battery can cut a trip short before it’s even started, but with a quality battery charger, you're in control. Both motorcycle batteries and car batteries can fail due to age, being left in very cold or hot temperatures, or something as simple as leaving your lights on. Having a reliable car battery charger or smart charger on hand means you're prepared for every journey.
How to use a car battery charger?
No matter why your battery has lost its charge, a car battery charger can get you back on the road quickly. These chargers draw power from the mains to safely recharge car and motorcycle batteries. To use one, simply connect the charger’s clamps to the correct battery terminals; positive to positive, negative to negative, then plug the charger into a wall socket. The charger will begin restoring power to your battery, with smart chargers automatically adjusting the charge level for optimal safety and efficiency.
Is it worth buying a battery charger?
Yes, a car battery charger is a smart investment, not just for reviving a flat battery, but also for ongoing maintenance. Many chargers offer a trickle charge feature, which gently delivers electricity to your car or motorbike battery, keeping it in peak condition during periods of inactivity, such as winter storage. Some models even include solar-powered options, allowing you to maintain your battery using free energy from the sun. It’s a convenient, cost-effective way to extend your battery life and avoid unexpected breakdowns.
Are jump starters a better option?
If you need an instant power boost to get back on the road, a jump starter is the perfect solution. These devices connect directly to your car or motorcycle battery and deliver enough charge to restart your engine on the spot. Once used, jump starters can be easily recharged by plugging them into the mains.
Choosing between a battery charger or jump starter depends on several factors; your battery’s capacity, the type of vehicle (manual or automatic), and your budget. At Halfords, we offer a wide range of car battery chargers and jump starters to suit every motorist.

How long do you leave a battery charger on an automobile battery?
This can will be determined by the battery's capacity and the charger's output. A battery charger will charge a dead battery within 10 to 24 hours.
A smart chargers will turn themselves off when the battery is fully charged, preventing overcharging. Consult your charger manual for exact instructions.
Can a battery charger revive a dead battery?
Yes, a battery charger can revive a dead battery, but the success can vary depending on the type of charger used. In some cases, if a motorcycle battery is completely dead, a standard charger may not recognise it. In such cases, a trickle charger or a smart charger with a desulfation function can sometimes help bring it back to life. However, if the battery is too old or damaged, it will need to be replaced.
