INTRODUCTION

Why do you need a smart battery charger？

Imagine you have an urgent appointment and you are already running late. You grab a quick bite and hurriedly turn on the ignition. Instead of starting, your car makes weird noises; your battery has malfunctioned. You are all on your own, and there is a very real chance of missing this incredibly important meeting.

Or let us consider an alternate scenario. You are on a weeklong road trip with your family or friends. You have packed your bags, planned the entire trip, and are ready to have the perfect vacation. The first two days have been amazing. And suddenly, your car starts behaving weirdly. Moments later, you hear the all-too-familiar sound of a failing engine. Everyone's mood has changed to worry in an instant. Your car breaks down. Even worse, there is no help nearby. The night is fast approaching, and you are stranded on a highway.

Sounds dreadful, right? But these situations are more common than you would have guessed. In our modern, fast-paced world, we are always in a hurry. Dealing with such problems can be super stressful and time-consuming. But
the good news is these situations are preventable! You can avoid all the hassle by investing in a smart charger.

In this article, let us look at the benefits of a smart charger and an amazing, compact, all-in-one Ampeak 25A Smart Battery Charger and its plethora of useful features.

THE IMPORTANCE OF A SMART BATTERY CHARGER
Although you can use a regular charger for your car batteries, a smart charger is an excellent investment. You will reap multi-fold dividends over time by using one. There are many advantages of using a smart battery charger; let us take a quick look at some of them.

Improved Safety
It is crucial that you feel safe while using a battery charger. You can get an electric shock if the battery is in the wrong hands or used incorrectly. However, you do not need to worry about this happening while using a smart charger. It has many useful features to protect the user from an electric shock.

Efficient Charging
A smart battery charger has multiple charging stages for more efficient charging. It switches to the best charging mode by sensing the battery requirements, which improves the efficiency as well as the health and battery life.

Extends The Lifespan Of Batteries
One of the main concerns while using a battery charger is that it can overcharge and cause damage to the battery. One of the ways in which a smart charger combats this is by charging the battery efficiently, as you saw in the point above.

Besides having different charging stages, it also has inbuilt features that detect and control the charging process to ensure that the battery is not over or undercharged. As a result, even if you forget to disconnect the charger, it will not cause any significant damage to the batteries.

Saves Your Money And Time
A smart battery charger keeps your battery healthy for longer by avoiding overcharging, excessive usage, and incorrect jumpstarts. Your car will break down less, thus saving you the inconvenience and money of getting it repaired or replaced. This will save you a lot of money and time in the long run.

These are some of the many advantages of using a smart charger over a regular battery charger. Now, let us look at an amazing smart battery charger -the Ampeak 12 V Smart Battery Charger, and what makes it one of the best smart battery chargers to buy.

THE AMPEAK 25A SMART BATTERY CHARGER

The Initial Setup

Design and contents
The Ampeak smart battery charger is lightweight and compact. When you buy the smart battery charger, you get one DC output cable with clip connectors. It also comes with an in-depth, easy-to-understand instruction guide. The product is super easy to set up, and the user manual walks you through the
entire process step-by-step.

It has a handle on top and a place to hold your wires in the back, so it is very convenient for you to carry it around. There is a small fan on one side of the charger that automatically kicks in for a higher load when the device gets a bit warm to prevent it from overheating.

Getting started
It is straightforward to use, and thanks to its innovative technology, you do not even need to select anything. It will detect and monitor the important metrics on its own and charge your battery in the most optimal way.

All you need to do is place clamps on the battery, positive at the positive end and negative at the negative one. Then, you can choose the type of battery you are charging - AGM, gel, or standard. If you do not specify anything, the unit will autodetect it.

You can also choose the Amp rate. You have three options to choose from - 2 Amp for a trickle charge, 10 Amp for a quick charge, and 25 Amp for a rapid charge. Or the built-in program will decide it automatically.

The LCD display shows the current operating status with helpful information like the type of battery it has autodetected, the charge that the battery already holds, the charging percentage, and the charging stage.

Advanced Safety Features

The wire clamps can be a cause of concern because there is a very real possibility that they can shock you or short circuit if the two terminals come in direct contact.

Ampeak has added a safety feature to protect you from this. Unless the circuit is complete, that is, the clamps are connected to the battery and reading 3V, they won't turn on. In this case, an electric current won't flow through them. As a result, you won't be able to zap things or get a spark when the two clamps touch.

Start Aid

The Ampeak smart charger has a start aid function. When your battery is low, you can press the start aid button. It charges the battery at a high rate for a very short time, and you can then start your vehicle.

Smart Battery Charging

The Ampeak smart charger automatically selects the best charge rate by detecting the battery capacity and voltage. It continues monitoring the charging process and switches modes as required to provide maximum efficiency.

It has not one, not two, but an eight-stage charging process which ensures that it is charging based on the needs of the battery. As we saw before, this ensures maximum efficiency and increases the lifespan of the battery.

Once the battery is fully charged, the smart battery charger automatically switches to float mode. In the float mode, it uses a trickle charge when the battery is full, so there is no risk of over-charging and damaging your battery.

Of the eight steps, these are some important steps the smart charger undergoes.

Soft start
The Ampeak battery charger has a soft start to protect the battery and optimize charging. A soft start means it will gradually and steadily start the charging process by applying a slow charge current. It provides a gentle ramp up to full speed and is used while starting the battery. Limiting the power input
protects the battery from any sudden power influx.

Bulk charging
This stage is the main part of the whole charging process, where the battery power will reach about 80% full.

Absorption
In this stage, the battery is charged fully by slowly reducing the charging rate. This allows the battery to absorb more power.

Battery analysis
After the charging is complete, the Ampeak battery charger auto-tests the battery state and decides the next step accordingly. If it detects any anomalies, it automatically enters the repair state; otherwise, it continues to the other stages.

Float charging
Float charging keeps the battery at full capacity without causing damage to the battery by overcharging it. So, even if you leave the charger plugged in and forget to turn it off, it won't cause any significant damage.

Desulfation
With use, batteries can have a build-up of lead sulfate crystals that reduce the battery’s capacity and make it ineffective. Desulfation is the process of removal of this build-up. This process allows the battery to return to total health and charging capacity.

This charger's desulfation mode is impressive and works really well. It automatically detects if the process is needed and uses a 15.8V pulse voltage for the electrolytic removal of sulfated crystals. If it is not required, the smart charger will skip this step.

Reconditioning
Not only does the Ampeak smart charger perform its function exceptionally well, but it is also great for restoring old unusable batteries. Do you have an old car battery that cannot be recharged? Do not worry! You can solve the problem with this inverter's advanced recondition modes.

The reconditioning mode can be used to restore over-discharged batteries. Once this stage is complete and the repairing is done, it returns to the "Bulk" stage. And if it fails, an error will be reported.

One thing to note about using the recondition mode is that the process can take a long time, so do not worry if it is running for longer than usual. Also, remember that the function will not work for a frozen or dead battery.
