What Are Battery Chargers?

Car battery chargers are essential devices to maintain your battery's health. They plug into your electricity socket, and you can attach them to your battery's terminals. You can use them for low batteries or those that haven't been used for a while. These chargers can perform three primary functions, including:

 

  • Maintenance charging: This denotes the process of sending a 'trickle' or a small amount of electricity to your battery over a more extended period to maintain its health while you store it. 
  • Engine-start function: This is akin to jump-starting your vehicle. This process demands a significant amount of power, and only heavy-duty chargers can perform it. 
  • Conventional charging: This is the process of sending power to your battery to charge it when it's low in power. Conventional charging can take anything, between 6-24 hours.

Features of Battery Chargers

As you might have gathered, a car battery charger is similar in its functioning to any other charger. You can use it to charge your battery till it's full. The following are some features of battery chargers:

 

  • Unlimited power: If you want to charge your battery completely, a battery charger is your only option. Once you plug it in, the battery charger will continue functioning till the car battery is fully charged. 
  • Not portable: A car battery charger is bulky and requires access to an electrical outlet. For this reason, it's impossible to transport these chargers easily or use them on the go. 

 

You can assess these factors to decide whether to invest in a battery charger or battery boost pack in Winnipeg. If you're having trouble making a decision, our team can help

What Are Battery Boost Packs?

Battery boost packs are portable devices you can use to charge your car's battery. They can provide charge to a flat or low vehicle battery, typically in emergencies. These devices have their batteries, which is why you don't have to plug them into an electricity socket for use. They have a significantly higher amperage than battery chargers, which is why they're quicker and can start a battery in seconds. On top of that, they're also incredibly versatile and can power up other electronic devices. 

Features of Battery Boost Packs

Battery boost packs compactly offer immense starting power, allowing users to carry them on the road. Suppose you're considering buying a battery boost pack. In that case, we invite you to consider its features:

 

  • Instant charging: With battery boost packs, an empty battery can become usable in a very short time. This feature makes it perfect for emergencies when you don't have time to wait for a battery charger. 
  • Portability: The portability offered by battery boost packs is their key benefit. You can keep them in your glove compartment for emergencies on the road. They don't require an electricity socket, making them ideal for use anywhere. 
  • No full charging: A drawback of battery boost packs is that they will never charge a battery completely. These devices have limited power, unlike battery chargers. 

 

Battery chargers and battery boost pack both perform different functions. While the former is the only option for charging your battery completely, the latter is ideal for emergency scenarios.

Winter Care

Winters in our part of the world can wreak havoc on your batteries. While newer batteries can withstand the cold, they lose the ability to do so as they age. If you have an older battery, it is best to ensure that it is working as it should before you get caught in an emergency scenario on the road. To avoid battery failure, it is important to ensure that it can produce more than 12 Volts along with holding charge. Charging your battery before you use your vehicle can help you avoid being stranded in the cold. 

Our battery boost packs in Winnipeg and other areas can help you avoid battery failure. Please contact our team to learn more. We also provide locomotive batteries across the country.
