The German-language display is easy to understand and comfortable to use. Thanks to the testing function, battery charge levels can be determined before charging, and the integrated memory function continues the charging process even after power interruptions without having to start over. Six charging programs are available. The fully automatic battery charging occurs in 11 charging steps. Modern safety technology with reverse polarity protection, overheating protection, overload protection, and short-circuit protection safeguards you and the device from incorrect operation. Two cables with quick connectors and comfort plugs (permanent charging cable with ring terminals for fixed installation and charging cable with clamps) are included with the splash-proof and dust-tight device (protection class IP65).
4. Einhell CE-BC 4M
The Einhell battery charger CE-BC 4 M is an intelligent battery charger designed for the technologically advanced and powerful batteries of modern vehicles. This smart battery charger features microprocessor control and is suitable for various types of vehicle batteries, equipped with a range of technical protection and maintenance mechanisms. The main focus of its development is on fast, gentle charging of batteries to achieve the longest possible lifespan at full performance.
Operating the charger is simpler than with conventional devices, thanks to a detailed charging display. The Einhell all-rounder is suitable for gel batteries, AGM, as well as maintenance-free and low-maintenance lead-acid batteries. The CE-BC 4 M automatically adjusts to the battery voltage of 12 V vehicles. The multi-stage charging cycle of the Einhell battery charger is automatically monitored and adjusted by the microprocessor control.
The smart control electronics analyze the type and condition of the connected battery and initiate the optimal mode based on demand. The maintenance charging function protects and preserves the battery for a consistently ideal charge state. This makes the CE-BC 4 M suitable for all types of vehicles, specifically for seasonal vehicles with long periods of inactivity: instead of allowing the battery to slowly discharge completely and risking deep discharge, the battery is gently maintained at its optimal level through maintenance charging.
The maintenance charging relieves the battery cells and extends their service life, preventing the avoidable and costly replacement of a defective vehicle battery. Cars, motorcycles, or scooters are ready for use at the start of the season. A winter charging mode has been developed specifically for outdoor temperatures below 5 degrees Celsius.
5. Ctek CT5 Time To Go
The Time To Go provides you with exactly the information you need while charging your vehicle. When the TRY LED lights up, you can start your car. Want to know how much longer it will take until the battery is fully charged? Time To Go tells you. 8, 4, 2, or 1 hour, after which the device switches to maintenance mode to maintain the battery's voltage. Life is great – and even more so when you can freely manage your time. When you think of the freedom and joy that driving a vehicle offers you, you probably don't first think about charging the battery. In fact, charging the battery is the simplest and most time-saving way to maintain your vehicle. With the unique CTEK feature Time To Go, you can monitor the charging process and better plan your time, as the remaining charging duration is accurately predicted. Based on Swedish technology, the CT5 Time To Go provides maximum battery performance for all 12V vehicle batteries. You can ensure that your battery is always in perfect condition – even in winter, and you can even repair a deeply discharged battery that hasn't been charged for too long. The CT5 Time To Go is easy to use and works fully automatically – the electronics analyze the battery's condition and then select the optimal charging or maintenance mode by themselves. The CT5 Time To Go is currently the only charger on the market that shows you the remaining charging time for the battery. The individual charging phases and the remaining time until the battery is fully charged are displayed via a series of LEDs. There is also an LED that indicates when a safe attempt to start your vehicle is possible, i.e., when the battery is ready for use. For your peace of mind: it is absolutely safe to use the CT5 Time To Go continuously.
6. Noco Genius 5EU
This fully automatic battery charger is suitable for 6-volt and 12-volt lead-acid batteries as well as lithium-ion batteries in cars, motorcycles, RVs, boats, and scooters.
