What is a trickle charger?


What is a trickle charger?

Trickle Chargers both charge batteries and extend the life of batteries.  They are affordable to purchase and draw power from a static mains source.  Solar panels can also be used as a power source, perhaps while mobile. 

They can also be known as battery tenders (there is a very popular firm of the same name – just to add confusion), battery chargers or battery maintainers (older batteries required maintenance; this is also, confusingly something else).

Trickle charger features:

Most batteries for vehicles, such as: cars, motorbikes, boats, mobility devices, ATVs, Jetskis and snowmobiles use 12 Volt batteries.

The Power output will have a direct relation to how quick the battery will be charged. Power is measured in Amps (A) and a budget typical battery tender starts at 0.75A, 1.5A would be an effective mid range device.
