Energy boost for autumn

9 October 2013  

Several battery chargers and maintenance products are available from Schumacher UK, all of which feature SpeedCharge software that measures the inputs to the battery. The Professional Boosters use Hawker Enersys batteries, have a two-year shelf life and can perform multiple starts on a single charge. They also feature digital displays and state of charge monitors. SpeedCharge software within the chargers is said to charge batteries up to three times faster than ordinary chargers. Director Ian Garwood explains: “The sophisticated software in the Schumacher chargers measures and monitors voltage and amp inputs. It actively adjusts them to maximise the charge input while preventing gassing and thermal runaway, which is essential to prevent damage to sealed and valve regulated batteries.” An OBD memory saver is also available to support a vehicle’s electronic systems and stored data during battery removal.
