When a motorist takes a car into a garage with a battery fault, the easy solution is to replace the battery. However, with environmental concerns and motorists wanting to spend less on car maintenance, garages have the opportunity to provide an additional service with the SmartChargePro range of battery chargers from Ring Automotive.

The SmartChargePro range with its 8 stage charging cycle, is a comprehensive and accurate charging technique, giving batteries prolonged life and better performance, compared to using standard chargers. For mechanics it is a specialist tool to diagnose, recondition and service a customer’s battery.

The Ring Automotive SmartChargePro range includes 6, 12v models; 7A, 10A, 15A, 25A, 35A, 50A and a 24v 8A model.

As more vehicles are fitted with different types of battery, the SmartChargePro has a unique Programmable Multi-Chemistry feature. Multi-Chemistry allows mechanics to set the charging profile to suit the battery chemistry type (AGM, Calcium, GEL or Lead). This will ensure correct and optimum charging for each battery type, maximising battery performance.

All SmartChargePro chargers come with a battery support function, that will sustain a vehicle’s electrical system during diagnostic work.

It is easy and intuitive to use, simply plug into the mains, connect to the battery and set the battery type. The SmartChargePro will do the rest.

If needed, there is a manual recondition function to recover batteries from a deeply discharged state to improve performance, allowing the battery to operate at full capacity. The SmartChargePro range will also adjust its charge rate, to compensate for any increase in battery temperature to fully protect the battery.

For garages, the SmartChargePro offers the additional revenue stream of battery care to customers. The built in function of battery support ensures accurate and safe diagnostic servicing. Offering two tools for the price of one.
