Tips before buying a car battery charger

* Don't buy an open box item or a used car battery charger. It is the kind of tool that is better off bought new because there is no way to verify what someone has done to it, or how they may have abused or misused it causing damage that you won't know about until it's too late.
* Make sure your charger has a jump start setting. Almost all of the name brand ones do, but this is important because it gives your battery a larger boost temporarily so you can jump start your car without the need for another vehicle.

* While you are buying a car battery charger it is a great time to invest in a battery jumper pack. A battery jumper pack is a small hand carry unit that contains a battery and two jumper cable leads, and is used to jump start your car. You can charge this by plugging it into the wall at home. It is a good idea to have one of these in the trunk of your car. Then if your battery dies when you are out somewhere, you cant jump it yourself without having to ask someone for help or waiting until someone comes.
