BATTERY
CHARGER TYPES Automatic chargers (typically the type consumers purchase) pulse and cycle the charge current and voltage rates. This automatic cycling rate protects the battery from damage and allows the charge rate to taper over time. Manual chargers (shown below), also known as wheel chargers, are preferred by automotive professionals. These charges do not cycle, but rather provide a constant non tapering charge. The constant charge rate allows the technician to accurately calculate the charge time to prevent overcharging of the battery.
