Battery Chargers
Battery Chargers category includes reviews of battery chargers suitable for use at home, in the car, on the boat, in RVs, etc. that are able to charge different types of batteries including lead-acid batteries (wet/flooded, AGM, Gel-Cell, Enhanced Wet, etc.), lithium-ion batteries, NiMH batteries and all other batteries that are used with the power generators, power inverters and solar panels in any possible form.
Note: Never, but really never use the battery charger to charge the battery not intended to be charged by that particular battery charger - doing so may cause the battery to overheat, catch fire or even explode. Also, the battery charger may get damaged or destroyed.
Of course, when choosing "the best" battery charger, always choose according to your own needs and requirements. After all, a good battery charger doesn't have to cost a fortune, on a contrary...
But, multipurpose, advanced units tend to be expensive, but since they are intended for large and also expensive batteries, they are worth every (euro)cent.
