What is a 12V battery charger?

A 12V battery charger is designed for charging 12V batteries. This type of battery is widely used in cars, motorcycles, boats, mopeds and scooters. As they are among the most used batteries, 12V chargers are very common as well. The number of volts refers to the power a battery can deliver, a value known as voltage. In addition to the number of volts, you should look at the number of amperes on a battery. This value tells you how long a battery will last; the higher the number of Ampere-hours, the longer a battery lasts. A 12V battery charger can usually charge a battery with different charging currents (Amps).

What is a battery charger 12V used for?

The most common use of a 12V battery charger is charging empty 12V batteries. For example, if your car or motorcycle no longer starts. Apart from that, a battery charger can be used to maintain your battery. If a battery discharges – when it is not used for a longer period of time or is exposed to low temperatures – the state of the battery will deteriorate. With a trickle charger you can top up the battery and keep it in peak condition!
