Battery charging

As vehicle technology continues to develop, more and more strain is placed on the battery. As a result, battery charging has become an important part of vehicle maintenance and should be as important as when checking tyre pressures or oil levels.

There are various types of battery charger currently available – mostly trickle chargers and smart chargers. But, smart chargers do present a safer and more efficient way of prolonging and maintaining the life of your battery.

When batteries have reached their optimum charge levels, trickle chargers will simply send a level of power for a certain period of time and after that switch itself off, and continue to repeat this process until you remove it from the battery. This battery charging method can potentially overcharge your battery, which will cause it to dry out maybe even start gassing, and could in the end kill the battery.
