TOP 5 car chargers! Rating of the best chargers for batteries 2021!
Any car enthusiast knows how important a battery is for a car. Indeed, the duration of the machine's service directly depends on its work. Batteries are often discharged during the winter season, as the car will not start when the battery is low.
This is where chargers come in handy. After all, they are designed to charge the battery. With their help, you can both charge a fully discharged battery, and carry out a partial recharge.
Let's figure out what storage devices are and what you should pay attention to when buying.
Chargers are divided into two types-transformer and impulse.
Recently, transformer devices have become less popular. Their sizes directly depend on the power. The higher it is, the more overall the devices will be. Therefore, it is not always convenient to transport them. However, they are highly reliable in use. Since they are able to restore even very old batteries in just one night. After the end of the charge, it is imperative to disconnect the terminals, since they often do not have an automatic shutdown function. If this is not done, the electrolyte will boil away and the plates will close.
Impulse chargers are compact and easy to transport. Most of these models have automatic control over the charging process. Switching devices are often equipped with various regulators and stabilizers to ensure stable and reliable operation of your battery.
Smart chargers are equipped with a screen with prompts, multi-level protection and a choice of charging method.
We have selected for you TOP-5 chargers, which are popular among the customers of our store 130.com.ua. Our rating looks like this:
Bosch C3 (018999903M)
Our rating is opened by the impulse smart charger C3 (018999903M) from the manufacturer Bosch. This charger is fully automatic.

Master Watt ROBOT-12
Automatic charger Master Watt ROBOT-12 12 V, 12.5 A equipped with a voltmeter, and also has a desulfation mode. It can quickly and efficiently charge any 12V lead-acid battery. It is also equipped with an innovative system of intelligent selection and setting of the current during the entire charging period, which eliminates the possibility of errors when adjusting the charging current.
The charger ROBOT-12 automatically detects the battery capacity and operating mode. The device independently regulates the charging current, taking into account the residual capacity of the battery and its behavior during recharging. Suitable for charging gel and AGM batteries, starter batteries with liquid electrolyte, as well as for desulfation. The desulfation process or battery recovery is carried out in calcium batteries and with liquid electrolyte.
The presence of these functions allows the charger to be used for recharging and maintaining a satisfactory state of the batteries, which operate in a buffer mode or during long-term storage. Each operating mode of the device is controlled by a microcontroller, moreover, during operation with a certain battery, the device immediately adapts to it. The device carries out diagnostics, can recognize the presence of cells with a short circuit, reverse polarity and the possibility of overheating of the battery.

Elegant Maxi EL 101 415
The Elegant Maxi EL 101 415 high-performance starter and charger helps to avoid problems that may arise when starting the engine in the winter. Most often, difficulties related to starting the engine at subzero air temperatures arise in those car owners who use the battery for a long time without the necessary recharging. Starting devices perform the function of "revitalizing" the battery and can be used as periodic recharging of the battery.
The starter/charger is designed for gel, AGM and acid batteries with a battery nominal voltage of 6/12 V. The output voltage level indicates the compatibility of the starter/charger with your battery. This battery voltage should match as much as possible with the capabilities of the starting-charger. Under other conditions, the battery may start to perform poorly or even break. The specified parameters in the characteristic can be 12 V for cars, and for trucks-24 V.
When connecting to the starter battery, you should adhere to the correct polarity: connect the black crocodile clip to the negative terminal, red to the positive terminal, and then plug the mechanism into the 220 V AC network and select one of the charging modes. The design of the mechanism is reliably protected from overcharging, overheating, polarity reversal or overloads during operation. The mechanism will not cause difficulties during transportation and storage. The lightweight and compact dimensions make the charger portable and can be taken with you on any road trip.
