Rather than replying sarcastically, "Why do we need to eat healthy and exercise?" I choose to provide a little education that will hopefully help save our customers money and frustration in the future.

With so many reasons for batteries to power up our various equipment, toys, solar panels, and more, it may be prudent to carefully consider a quality battery charger to ensure you are getting the recharge you should. After all, it can sometimes be the charger you are using rather than the battery itself that needs to have its performance assessed.

If you’ve popped your hood and taken a close look at your car’s sealed lead acid battery lately, chances are you’ve noticed a build-up (unless your battery is new) of corrosion caused by acid condensation. The crusty-looking whitish or greenish appearance is actually easy to clean, and most likely you already have everything you need. But while it is easy enough to accomplish, you’ll need to make sure you keep safety protocols in mind so that you don’t hurt yourself—or your car—in the process.
While some batteries may be so corroded that they require disconnection of the cable clamps or terminals, we’re not recommending that and instead talking about general maintenance and cleaning that you can do while keeping your car’s battery still in place. A severely corroded battery may require additional maintenance and cleaning beyond what we are discussing here today.
Supplies:
- Safety goggles/protective glasses

In the past few weeks, we have been talking about replacement batteries for your current equipment. With temperatures starting to welcome in springtime, people are bringing out their golf carts, motorcycles, scooters and boats. With this blog, however, we want to talk about battery chargers and related equipment, rather than the batteries themselves.
At Impact Battery, we stock a wide variety of battery chargers and conveniently list them by both battery charger types as well as by brand. That way, you can find what you’re looking for in the most convenient way possible.
All of our battery chargers are “Smart Chargers," meaning they are microprocessor controlled and can be left connected to your batteries indefinitely.
