Probably every motorist has faced the problem of a dead battery. This is especially unpleasant when everything is discovered 5 minutes before departure. There are two ways out of this situation. The first is the installation of a new, pre-charged battery on the car. The second is recharging the old battery with a special device. Of course, the first method will solve the situation very quickly, but few of us keep 2 charged batteries in the garage. Therefore, the only way out will be the use of devices such as car chargers. We will talk about them today.
Voltage
All jump starters can be either 12V or 24V. The first type is recommended for cars, minivans and minibuses. As for 24 volt appliances,such starters are used for trucks and large buses. There are also 6-volt devices. Typically, these tools only charge motorcycle batteries.
What is this device?
Car chargers are small boxes made of durable plastic with special ventilation holes and connectors for terminals. On the front side of this mechanism there is an on indicator, as well as a regulator of the magnitude of the charging current. In addition, each device is equipped with an ammeter scale that allows you to determine the current level of battery charge. Inside, car chargers have a circuit and a special fuse that protects the device from incorrect connection and further failure.
Currently, there are 2 types of these devices:
- household;
- professional.
The first type includes a special transformer and a diode bridge. Despite the plus in the price category, many drivers often scold such devices. Indeed, household car chargers are highly vulnerable to short circuits. If you connect it incorrectly (confuse the plus with the minus), in the next few seconds such a device will simply burn out, and you won’t save it with anything. In addition, their battery charge mode is not very happy.
As for professional devices, they are muchmore reliable and safer to use than household ones. Such devices are equipped with fuses that prevent the risk of a short circuit. Also, professional tools have special clips, thanks to which you can easily fix the device to the battery, which also prevents the ROM from failing. Among the significant advantages, drivers note the ability to adjust the charge current, as well as a stable supply voltage.
Car starter chargers: price
At the moment, the cost of such devices is very diverse. Household ones are sold at a price of 2-3 thousand rubles, and the cost of professional ones starts at 7,000 and can reach 26 thousand rubles.

Before, cars were washed in yards and garages with rags from a bucket. Now times have changed. Almost no one does it manually anymore, and if they do, it is with the help of pressure washers. In most cities, a variety of car washes provide services. How do they wash cars in most cities?
Injectors in a car: where are they located and what are they for?
All diesel and gasoline internal combustion engines that exist today have a fuel injection system in their design. The nozzle is an analogue of a pump that supplies a powerful, but very thin jet of fuel. It is an integral part of the injection system. Where are the nozzles and what is their principle of operation will be described later
