Where to buy fastest battery charger?

[Yeobh]

That's why ambulances, police petrol cars, and even taxis batteries need to be charges by external chargers when they return back to base workshops.Looks like there is a potential new business in Spore - battery loan & charging outlets

[Yeobh]

Most of the car worskhops and battery shops are reluctant to charge battery slowly as packing the cars infront or in the workshops cost money and take up too much space. So much so most of them restort to fast charging sometime setting as high as 20 amp and thereafter cool the battery by pouring over it.

At 70% charge, you still can turn the engine over depending on the engine conditions and CC capacity.

You can try reconditioning . The Ctek Xs7000 has it.

I had with me a nanopulsar electronic desulfator, without that i think my 5yr old battery would be long dead. I just want to add a solar charger, see if the charge can maintain longer or not, if not cannot start will be abit troublesome, i'm hoping to prolong the charge to 10-11 days would be the best.

Never seen a solar charger before. Try out and let us know if it works. u parking in private place? Will ppl steal bo? haha

Hopefully wouldn't, parked inside my house courtyard, should be pretty safe.

i saw autobacs got sell solar panels for batt.

its abt the size of a small ruler .

put in car.. then link to battery.

 

dunno if it works.. but pretty exp for a panel , think abt 50 bucks i recall.

last time pimp my rides they use it on the spolier custom make.

that one is huge one.. to charge the batt.

 

so is tat small solar plate frm autobacs gonna work? any comments?

Aiya, in ur house den shud be Np. no one would steal.

[Icyfreakass]

But hor. If in ur house.. y don get a normal charger instead? Since a power source would be easily available.

I thought of DIY one but too lazy to do it, that why i choose to buy 1 solar type instead. There's a article on how to make one though.

 

DIY Trickle Charger

Solar panel cells for car battery chargers due to price constraint defintely will not be of premium quality. Also most of the solar car battery charger output range from 5 to 8 watt max in other words they perform like trickle chargers. Also their outputs are correlated to sun rays temp & angle to the panels.

juz buy a electronic one. no nid ownself make.

Currently I am using 2 batteries, one in the car and the other hook up to a CTEK battery charger at home. I swap them whenever I change the engine oil, roughly about every 4 months.

Modern MF batteries, if replaced on a 2 year cycle, should not give you any batter problem.

 

If you still feel unsecure and worry about flat battery, It would make more sense to carry an emergency jump starter with build in batteries.

 

 

What can you do when you have a flat battery, and you are outside?

if the size is only like a small ruler, can forget abt it, the current to charge the batt is most likely below 50mA/hr...

If you parked your car in the open then this device might be of interest fto you, it's a 2w solar charger. I just ordered mine through one of my supplier, now still waiting for it's arrival.

 

 

bro, what is the size of the solar panel?? 2W (167mA/hr) is rather slow for a car batt.... but if the solar panel is compact & economical, then its worth to invest! At such current, it may not be able to maintain the current drawn by the electrical component but definately help to make the battery last a bit longer

I have a battery load tester, will junk the battery before it is too late.

 

One battery caught me off guard 4 years ago, I had to ask another car owner for help to jump start the engine and drove home to replace the battery.

how long much we drive in order to charge our battery purely by driving?

 

would the faster i drive, the more power generated?
