Tag: battery-charger

My SUV's battery died last winter and I had to get a jump start twice! I've been meaning to buy a charger to keep in the garage. Budget is tight under $50, and it needs to work with a 12V system. I tried a cheap one before, but it overheated. What features should I look for to avoid that again! Also, does it need to be weatherproof for outdoor use? Something portable would be ideal since I travel a lot. I read reviews but got confused by all the amp options.

Battery sat for a couple months and now the charger light just blinks—any quick fixes before I replace it?
