Cars are an essential means of transportation for everyone. If you have a basic knowledge of cars, you must be familiar with the accessory of car battery chargers. I will provide 3 tips here to help you find the one that fits your battery when choosing a charger.
1. Know your battery type and battery capacity
Make sure if your battery is lead-acid or lithium. Lead-acid batteries include LiFePO4, WET (Flooded batteries), MF, GEL batteries, and Maintenance-free AGM/VRLA batteries. In most cases, one battery charger will work for all of them. Next, know your battery capacity. Capacity is expressed in Ah or Ampere hours, reference charging time calculation:
(Battery Capacity) / (Charger Current) = hours
With this method, you can calculate how long to charge.
Note: Battery details including battery capacity can be found on a label located on the top or side of the battery. If you are unable to find this information, please contact the battery manufacturer.
Looking for a multifunctional charger that can charge your battery, I recommend this Xparkle charger. It supports all types of lead-acid batteries and can also charge lithium batteries.
2. What voltage battery charger do you need?
When considering voltage, you need to know two things: supply voltage and battery charging voltage. Before using the battery charger, you need to check the input voltage, if the input voltage is higher than the charger can withstand, it may damage the charger. Most countries use 110-230Vac for the input voltage on battery chargers, and this is the best voltage for battery chargers. And the battery works under 12V or 24V.
3. Does the charger have a safety design for the battery? How is the charging stage designed?
When choosing a charger, you need to know whether the charger is designed to protect the battery. The purpose of this is also to prevent damage to your battery during charging.
And charging a lead acid battery is a complex process that requires activation before charging as well as float charging after battery saturation.
Xparkle car battery charger has multi-protection: Anti-spark Protection, Under-voltage Protection, Short Circuit Protection, Reverse Polarity Protection, Overvoltage Protection, Overheat Protection, Overcurrent Protection, 7-charging stage: Desulfation, Soft Start, Bulk Charge, Absorption, Test, Repair, Float.
