A 140W mains battery charger that charges both 12V and 24V batteries, delivering 10 amps at 12V or 7.5 amps at 24V, in a stainless steel case with a red finish. It is intended for maintenance-free lead-acid batteries in cars, vans and other vehicles, and the 1.2 metre mains lead and 60cm output leads give you some reach to the battery.
Input: AC 110V or 220V, 50 to 60Hz
Output: 12V at 10A, or 24V at 7.5A; 140W
Case: stainless steel, red
Input lead 120cm; output leads 60cm
Plug type: US (as stated by the supplier)
Please note: the supplier states a US-type mains plug, so this charger needs a suitable adapter for UK sockets. Check the listing details before ordering.
Practical tip: connect red to the positive terminal first and black to a bare metal earth point away from the battery, select the right voltage before switching on, and charge in a ventilated space. A battery that struggles in October is the one that fails in January: see our winter driving checklist.
