PowerStream is the best place to find high quality, high
technology battery chargers for OEM and consumer use. These can be safely left
attached to the battery for battery-minder applications, but also have a 3
stage charging process for fast charging. Reverse polarity protection and
battery-sense turn-on make them extra safe.
These chargers are also used as replacment
chargers for 12 volt safety lights.
