Ring extends battery support for mechanics

Automotive lighting and auto electrics supplier, Ring, has expanded its battery support unit range to include the RSCP20, which combines three key battery tools in one for mechanics.

The unit has a 20 amp smart charger suitable for lead, gel, calcium, AGM, EFB and lithium batteries and has an 80 amp jump start function.

The unit’s primary use is battery support, providing a constant current while mechanics carry out diagnostic work or data uploads.

Ring said the unit is useful in a variety of situations, as the jump starter can be used on cars and 4x4s. It can also be left connected as a charger to undertake reconditioning of a battery to optimise the battery health.

In addition, the unit can carry out alternator and battery tests to assess the health of the starting system. It also has a reverse polarity protection and over-voltage protection. 

Marketing director for Ring, Henry Bisson, said: “We have found that technicians are beginning to look for equipment that serves multiple purposes.

“We have started creating battery support units that can help with numerous jobs. We want to create products that assist technicians and provide multiple benefits, not just one.”
