Advice please - what/where to buy car battery charger

[scorecard]

I'm an old man, I sometimes forget to turn off the car headlights (e.g. after going through the tunnel at Big C, Don Chan) and

of course the car battery goes flat.

So I want to buy a suitable car battery charger to use at home when needed. (Suitable for typical sedan car - In this case Honda Civic.)

I have no idea what sort of specifications to look for, or perhaps the small chargers you can spot at Global, maybe Big C etc., are suitable for my purposes?

I would appreciate some advice please.

Try Global, Big C

I purchased a cheap charger at Big C for a car

By the way batteries in Thailand only last around 2 years

2.5A or 1600mA charger should do the job. If the charger has too higher output it could end up `cooking` your battery which is not good. I would say most car battery chargers in CM will be fine, but dont get one designed for big RVs or 4WD vehicles....they are way too powerful.

Read the box of the item to get the specs.

Big C or any automotive accessory place should stock them

The one on my truck lasted 8 years ! on the Honda jazz from new, not a year !, and I regularly check the water levels,important here with the heat and evaporation,do it every week check the oil level same time,10 mins. better safe than sorry. regards Worgeordie
