Tips before buying a car battery charger

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.

How to Choose a car battery charger?

Buying a car battery charger is a great purchase for your garage or shop. A car battery charger can jump start your car or easily charge a dead battery, making the difference between being stuck and arriving on time. Here's how to buy a car battery charger.
How to Choose a car battery charger?

1. Figure out your needs because car battery chargers come in all shapes and sizes. Some are small, easily moveable, shelf mounted units for occasional use. Others are large units that have wheels and roll on the floor. Small car battery chargers are perfect for people that only want to charge a dead battery once and a while, or jumpstart an occasional car. Larger car battery chargers are for people who frequently tinker with cars, large shops and dealerships, or people that just want the extra power.

2. Browsing online for car battery chargers is a really good way to start a comparison. The smaller car battery chargers that most people use are really easy to find cheap online, and don't cost much to ship either. Sometimes the larger ones cost a little more to ship, but the online savings are usually significant.

3. Look for sales in stores during fall or spring. These are the times leading into the cold winter, and hot summer when car batteries fail the most. This is when car battery chargers go on sale in stores. Keep an eye on the Sunday paper ads from Sears and auto parts stores.

4. Don't buy a generic brand. You might think that it will save you money now, but it will cost you more in aggravation when your battery is dead, it is very cold or hot, you are late for work and the car battery charger you wisely invested in isn't working. Good name brands are Schumacher, Die-Hard from Sears, Craftsman, and Snapon. It never pays to buy cheap tools. Ever.

5. Read the manual before using your car battery charger. It is a very serious piece of equipment, and you can easily ruin a car battery or hurt yourself by putting it on the wrong setting. Make sure you know how to work your car battery charger.

Solar Charger Controller Types

Solar Charge controls come in 3 general types (with some overlap):

1. Simple 1 or 2 stage controls which rely on relays or shunt transistors to control the voltage in one or two steps. These essentially just short or disconnect the solar panel when a certain voltage is reached. For all practical purposes these are dinosaurs, but you still see a few on old systems. Their only real claim to fame is their reliability - they have so few components, there is not much to break.

2. 3-stage and/or PWM such Morningstar, Xantrex, Blue Sky, Steca, and many others. These are pretty much the industry standard now, but you will occasionally still see some of the older shunt/relay types around, such as in the very cheap systems offered by discounters and mass marketers.

3. Maximum power point tracking (MPPT), such as those made by Xantrex, Outback Power, Morningstar and others. These are the ultimate in controllers, with prices to match - but with efficiencies in the 94% to 98% range, they can save considerable money on larger systems since they provide 15 to 30% more power to the battery. Most controllers come with some kind of indicator, either a simple LED, a series of LED's, or digital meters. Some newer ones, such as the Outback FM60/80 and others now have built in computer interfaces for monitoring and control. The simplest usually have only a couple of small LED lamps, which show that you have power and that you are getting some kind of charge. Most of those with meters will show both voltage and the current coming from the panels and the battery voltage. Some also show how much current is being pulled from the LOAD terminals.All of the charge controllers that we stock are 3 or 4-stage PWM types, including the MPPT units. (in reality, "4-stage" is somewhat advertising hype - it used to be called equalize, but someone decided that 4 stage was better than 3). And now we even see one that is advertised as "5-stage"
