Among the inventory of each motorist, there must be a minimum set of working tools, including a jack, a compressor or a set of keys. The starter charger should also be included in this list. The device will be indispensable especially during the cold winter, when drivers often experience problems with the battery and starting the engine.

Device Type

Starting device

This is a portable battery that can be charged from the 220-volt power supply or the on-board network of another car.  The design of the device includes a full-fledged battery designed exclusively for starting the engine, since it is capable of producing high currents up to 1500 amperes.

When choosing a Ricambi Euro starter battery, it is necessary first of all to take into account the nominal amperage. A higher value will allow you to run larger motors.

They can be divided into two subcategories:

• Condenser. They are compact, have a maximum life of charge-discharge cycles, and are suitable for starting volumetric diesel engines. However, these are the most expensive gadgets, and the accumulated charge is usually enough for just one attempt to start.
• Rechargeable. The design uses classic batteries. They are characterized by a small price and the ability to make several launch attempts. However, the battery devices will have to be recharged from the mains for at least 20-30 minutes.

Battery charger

It is intended exclusively for preventive maintenance and charging of dead batteries. Structurally, it is a small unit that is connected to a 220-volt electrical network.  There is also a pair of clips directly for connecting to the battery.

When buying, you should agree with the type of battery installed in your car.

Start-up charger

Combines the functionality and capabilities of the two devices described above. They range in size from the size of a small power bank to suitcase-sized devices designed for car service stations.

Regardless of what type of device you are going to buy, first of all you need to pay attention and correlate the operating parameters with the type of car battery of your car (or several cars).
