You also have to consider what kind of battery you have: lead-acid, AGM (an advanced version of lead-acid) or lithium-ion. Some batteries are versatile enough to support multiple technologies, others not so much. You often find versatility has a direct correlation with price. At 6Ah, the internal battery has less stamina than many here, but that's only a problem if you intend many starting attempts between charges. Strangely, for such a sophisticated model, the unit is not sealed to IP65 standards, so must only be used indoors. The charger can be connected to a Lead-Acid or Lithium battery for a long duration without the risk of overcharging. It can also be used in winter temperatures as low as -20°C. It’s easy to use and a cost-effective solution to keep batteries in good condition all year round. Specifications

This portable Draper 10A smart charger does more than just charge 6V and 12V vehicle batteries. It has the ability to activate, analyse and recondition the battery in 10-steps, making it ideal for deep discharged batteries.The Draper 53491 6/12V Smart Charger and Battery Maintainer protects batteries in freezing temperatures But it is a cheapie, so safety aids like low battery, incorrect correction, or dead short warnings are omitted. And you will need to top-up-charge bi-monthly, using mains or 12-volts rather than USB. Scottish Highlands & Islands postcodes: AB, FK, HS, IV, KA, KW, PA, PH, ZE, LL58-LL78, IM, TR, PO30-41 Sealey’s E/Start range is battery less. And, bizarrely, Sealey suggests using your car’s dead battery to energise the unit! Stranger still, this seemingly bonkers approach works well. Other similarities to the 7652 include 6 and 12 volt operation, a dedicated winter mode to maintain decent charge speeds in cold weather, and – less desirably – leads that are a smidgen shorter than ideal.

Noco's Jump Starters are fast becoming as popular over here as they are on the other side of the Atlantic – and with their winning combination of solid performance, safety, and foolproof ease of use, it's not hard to see why. Otherwise the CT5 is typically CTEK: well made, with fast charging, and sporting dedicated modes for AGM batteries and reconditioning. What Car? rating Four stars out of five We suspect the ultra-keen price is partly because of its old-school styling and layout. The vented case rules out usage outside, and the usually de rigueur hard-wired lead isn't included. On the plus side, that means dedicated cycles for battery reconditioning and 6 volt, AGM, Gel, and Calcium battery technologies. Better still, the unit has limited jump start capabilities – supplying up to 150 Amps for 3 seconds – to awaken dead cars fast.With up to 1200 Amps on hand (3000 Amps Peak) there are few engines this unit cannot rouse. And even smaller commercials are catered for by the unit's switchable 12 or 24 volts output.

It’s easy to use and a cost-effective solution to keep batteries in good condition all year round. During the test we assessed each device for its charging speed, how well the charger communicates its progress, the length of the leads as well as value for money and if any extra were included.
