Many of us travel by car in the summer. Our tip: plan some time before your journey to get your car in shape. You can find out how to check and charge your car battery in this article.
Car battery charger
Before you set off on your journey, it is best to check the car battery. The car battery charger provides information about the charge status of the battery. The latest models also have programmes that check the battery for faults and defects and charge it gently. It is also no problem to leave a modern charger connected for long periods of time.

Car battery
The charger should always be selected according to the requirements of the battery in question. Important characteristics for finding the right charger are voltage (always 12V for current cars) and battery capacity (usually between 70 and 100 Ah).

Battery monitoring
With car battery meters, you can check the charge status of your battery in real time.
To do this, connect the meter to the battery and download the free app. The status of your battery is displayed directly on your smartphone via Bluetooth, allowing you to check the charge status of your battery quickly and easily.
The meter can display the charge status of up to 5 batteries and warns you in good time when it is time to recharge your battery.

Starting aid
Most batteries last at least 5 years. However, it can always happen that you forget to switch off the lights. In this case, it can be very helpful to have a mobile jump starter to hand.
Modern jump starters for private use are usually a handy size so that they can easily be carried in your handbag or glove compartment.
Another very useful feature is the integrated charging station for smartphones, tablets and notebooks. This provides your gadgets with many hours of additional power.
Important comparative values for jump starters are starting current and capacity. The higher the values, the more powerful the start booster is. The capacity indicates how often a car can be started or how many hours the power bank can be used. The starting current indicates how much power is available for starting. Diesel vehicles, for example, require a higher starting current. When using jump starters, it is important that you follow the operating instructions exactly.
In no time at all, the car will be restarted and nothing will stand in the way of continuing your holiday.
