Have you ever left your lights on while shopping only to return to a dead battery? How about on a camping trip? I once left my lights on during a job interview and had to ask my potential employer for a jump start.Needless to say I didn't get the job.The stories are endless.Everyone needs a car battery charger in case of an emergency.They come in a variety of sizes and price points.Lets review 3 types of car battery chargers..First, you have the most affordable option, which is great for minor battery drains in compact vehicles.It is a small unit that fits in the glove box, console or under the seat.You don't have to open the hood because they plug directly into your cigarette lighter and take about 20 minutes to charge.Second, is the "battery tender".This type of charger is plugged into an outlet and it left for a long period of time.It gives a small trickle of power to the battery.It work best if you want a good solid charge and have time to leave it over night.Some models also have a quick start option, but you still need a wall outlet.Third, is the emergency battery starter.You plug it in for a few hours and then put it in the trunk in case you get stranded.It hooks up to the battery just like jumper cables and will give an instant start.Some larger vehicles require more power.You will need to check for compatibility before buying.
