Standby charger: keeps your starter battery always ready for use

When you are on the road in your touring vehicle, the on-board battery is normally charged by the charger, solar panels or a fuel cell. But what happens if you don't drive for a long time? The starter battery constantly discharges, as it is no longer charged due to the battery disconnection. In addition, some consumers such as the radio, the multimedia system, the parking lights or the alarm system put a strain on the starter battery, even when the vehicle is not in use.

This is exactly where the standby charger comes into play. This intelligent device ensures that the starter battery is always charged, depending on the charge level of the on-board battery. There are different versions of standby chargers, depending on whether you only need a trickle charge or also want to connect modern lithium on-board batteries.

Pure battery maintenance or something more?

If you only want to maintain your starter battery, a standby charger variant with an output of 0 amps to 2 amps is sufficient in most cases. This charges the starter battery slowly and keeps it at a constant state of charge. This is particularly practical if you are not driving for a long time but still want to ensure that your vehicle is ready for use as soon as you need it again.

However, we generally recommend the professional version with an output of 0 amps to 5 amps. With this standby charger, you can easily connect not only conventional lead-acid batteries, but also modern LiFePO4 lithium on-board batteries. This means you are prepared for any situation and always have enough energy available.

Extended vehicle downtime? No problem!

The standby charger is an indispensable accessory for every camper. It protects your starter battery from deep discharge and ensures that you are always ready to go. Whether you're planning a longer trip or leaving your vehicle unused for an extended period of time, you can count on the reliable charging function of the standby charger.

So what are you waiting for? Make sure your starter battery is optimally protected with a standby charger and always be ready for your next adventure.
