A battery charger is a device that converts an AC power, which may be available from various sources like Mains, Gensets or car dynamo, into a DC voltage which charges the battery. Earlier chargers were simple ON/Off types; requiring an attendant to stand by the system to make sure the battery doesn’t overcharge. Latest microprocessor driven multi-stage chargers come with built in algorithm adjusting the charging speed and cycle according to both intrinsic and extrinsic factors. Ensuring the highest level of charge, multi-stage chargers are indeed the most versatile types.
