Battery voltage
The nominal voltage of the batteries that the device can work with. For boosters (see "Type"), in this case, the voltage that the "starter" can output at the output in the engine start mode is indicated.
-
6 V. Voltage found in some motorcycles, scooters, ATVs and similar vehicles.
-
12 V. Standard voltage of batteries (and on-board networks) for passenger cars, as well as light trucks and minibuses.
-
24 V. Voltage used mainly in trucks, buses and other heavy equipment. Also found in some heavy SUVs.
Min. charging current
The smallest current that the charger can provide in charging mode. See "Maximum charging current.
This parameter in our catalog is indicated only for those models that have several current adjustments (see below).
Max. charging current
The highest current that the charger can provide in charging mode. For models with one current adjustment (see below), its value is also indicated in this paragraph.
Different battery models may differ in charging parameters, including over the optimum current range. Accordingly, it is worth choosing a charger in such a way that it matches this range. Detailed selection recommendations can be found in special sources — in particular, documentation for batteries.
Battery capacity 12V
The capacity of batteries with an operating voltage of 12 V, for which a starter charger can be used. As a rule, modern units are not designed for one specific value, but for a range of capacities, which greatly facilitates the search filter according to the required parameters.
Note that although the discrepancy between the rechargeable battery in terms of capacity is not as critical as in terms of current or voltage, this does not mean that this parameter should not be paid attention to. Both too capacious and too “small” a battery will cause the charger to work in an off-design mode, which is harmful to both the “charger” and the battery, and can even lead to accidents.
IP code
The level of protection against dirt and moisture provided by the body of the charger. It is indicated according to the IP standard in two numbers: the first (from 1 to 6) means resistance to the penetration of foreign objects and dust, the second (from 1 to 9) - protection against moisture. A detailed explanation of these designations can be found in additional reference materials, but here we note that the larger the number, the higher the level of protection provided.
