1.Clore Jump-N-Carry JNC660 1700 Peak Amp 12V Jump Starter
View on AmazonWhy we like it: A long-lasting unit able to power multiple jumps starts on a single charge while penetrating through corroded metal.
Editor’s Rating:
The Clore JN660 is probably one of the most reassuring investments you will ever make. It is focused particularly on giving a jumpstart to your battery with extended cranking power. A single charge is good enough for several jump starts, always a relief in the often stressful situation of a worn out battery. But how does it do that?
Well, there are a number of features that make it all possible. First, there is the length of the heavy-duty cable leads. At 46 inches, it is enough to get around most vehicles. Its Hot Jaw clamps are of industrial strength and are able to make a strong connection in spite of any corrosion.
Then there is the Clore Proformer battery technology which is all about delivering maximum power with a density and durability to match. So not only do you get some proper and extensive cranking power, you get a long service life as well. Plus, there is fully automated recharging for the onboard battery so you can leave the unit plugged in and ready for an instant jump start whenever you need it. This is by far one of the best chargers available on the market right now. Most customers will not pass it up.Pros
- Durable and extensive cranking power
- Long lasting
- Not hindered by corrosion
- Automatic charging facility
Cons
- Air compressor not up to par
- No light included
2.Battery Tender Plus 021-0128
View on AmazonWhy we like it: An ingeniously designed charging unit that keeps getting better and better with time.
Editor’s Rating:
We like the Battery Tender Plus despite the irritating digits that make up the rest of its name because it happens to be a cleverly designed and efficient battery charger. It is able to charge up a battery and then keep it at an optimum voltage without sustaining any damage that could be caused by trickle chargers. It can alternate between full charge mode and float charging mode.
Obviously, charging time is a major talking point for any customer. The battery tender is a 1.25-amp charger and will charge your battery a lot quicker than a 3-amp charger would. In the interests of safety, it features a reverse polarity protection feature. The warranty for it is a whopping 10 years.
But let us not forget that this is the Plus version of the Tender which means it has 50% more power and consequently, a faster charge than you get from the Junior. This is another important feature especially considering the ever-increasing dependency of modern cars on electronics. The Plus is even better at staving off negative effects of drainage. However, making a really good battery was not enough. The company has already put this battery charger through numerous upgrades in design and software to keep it at the forefront of the market.Pros
- Intuitive design
- 10 year warranty period
- Frequently updated
- Fast charging time
- Effectively combats drainage
Cons
- Clamps could be larger
- Troublesome to use on a flat battery
3.NOCO Genius G3500
Editor’s Rating:
NOCO is a brand that is synonymous with safe and advanced technology and their Genius G3500 is no different. In short, it is a 3 and a half Amp for charging 6 and 12-volt batteries, both lithium and lead-acid, up to 120Ah. It has an impressive range of applications as well from automotive to marine, power sport, RV, and deep-cycle batteries. That gives it a broader reach in the market compared to most other battery chargers.
Also, compared to most other battery chargers, it charges batteries twice as fast. It can even repair a damaged battery and work with both CANBUS electrical systems and micro-hybrid start-stop vehicles. It is also hugely impressive when it comes to innovation and safety. With the assistance of an onboard computer, it can actually monitor the activity of a battery to make the charging safer and more efficient. The computer can also help conserve energy expenditure as well as implement reverse polarity and prevention from overcharging. In fact, you can safely leave it connected all day long.
The G3500 with all of its strengths and handsome features still manages to fit into a compact, portable, and lightweight design. And if that was not competent enough, it also highly resistant to water and UV rays. Add in a full 5 years of warranty and you soon realize this is not a deal that many buyers would refuse.Pros
- Suited to a variety of vehicle and battery types
- Charges twice as fast as most other batteries
- Makes charging incredibly safe and efficient
- Resistant to water and UV exposure
Cons
- Does not charge a flat battery
- Does not work well in extremely cold temperatures

Editor’s Rating:
We are certain that a lot of prospective buyers will be delighted to find that Black & Decker is in the market for battery chargers. After all, with such a diverse reach into the tech industry, some may already have a whole collection of household gadgets exclusively from Black & Decker. But of course, consistency with brand names is for rookies. What we are really interested in is whether the BM3B is any good.
And we are delighted to report that Black & Decker lives up to their reputation yet again. To start with, their battery charger is applicable on a wide range of vehicles including classic cars, motorcycles, RVs, specialty vehicles, ATVs, personal watercraft, lawn mowers – just about anything that runs on a 6 – 12-volt battery system. While you may not need it to charge up all of those things, it is nice to know that you can anyway.
What’s more, it does not mindlessly charge a battery even after it is full. It has an integrated circuit that prevents overcharging, short-circuiting, and reverse polarity. Its clever design, coupled with its high usability make it one of the highlights in the modern range of battery charges. Most people would want one.
