TSh 158,000
Our review
The Ingco ING-CB1601 is a mains-powered battery charger that runs on 230V at 50/60Hz and works with both 12V and 24V batteries. Its rated current is 9A at 12V and 4A at 24V, and it can deliver a 12A boost, so it is aimed at people who need to bring a flat battery back up rather than maintain a small trickle charge. The reference capacity range of 28-180Ah tells you the sort of battery sizes it is intended for, from smaller car batteries up to larger deep-cycle units. Before buying, check your battery's voltage and its capacity in amp-hours, because a charger outside that range will not do the job properly. Also confirm your battery chemistry and whether it wants a boost stage, since this unit offers one. Compared with basic chargers, the dual 12V/24V output and higher boost current make it more flexible, but it is not a smart multi-stage unit with selectable modes. The class H insulation rating is worth noting if the charger will be used in warmer conditions.
