How to Shop for a Battery Charger

There are many factors to consider when shopping for a battery charger.  With so many chargers on the market, consumers need help finding one that best fits their needs.

• Consider the jump and charge capability of the battery chargers you are looking at.  The more charger options the charger has, the more you will be able to do with the charger. Choose a battery charger that has an engine start option and adequate charge rate.
• Investigate the warranty coverage for the battery.
• Depending on when and where you will need the battery charger, the size and portability of the charger will come into play.  Consider the weight, height, width, and whether or not the charger has a handle.
• Decide what features you need in a charger, such as push-button controls, lights, and automatic turnoff functions
• Always look at the safety features on the charger.  The most common safety features are insulated clamps, a spark-resistant design, and reverse polarity warning system.
