Workshop Chargers
Professional-grade chargers for workshops and fleet use. Multiple modes and high capacity.
Workshop and fleet chargers
Workshop chargers are built for daily use in garages and fleet depots. They typically offer higher output (10A–25A or more), multiple modes (standard, AGM, EFB, sometimes calcium or repair), and often a quick-test or supply function. They are designed to recharge batteries quickly and reliably so vehicles can be returned to service or moved off the ramp.
For UK workshops and anyone running multiple vehicles, key features to look for are: 12V/24V capability if you work on trucks, AGM/EFB modes for modern cars and vans, and a float/maintain option so batteries can be left connected without overcharging. Build quality and warranty matter when the unit is in use every day.
