BS Smart Chargers - " Connect and Forget "

Details such as an adaptable charging algorithm which allows them to keep the battery on charge as long as they want , without damage . " Details such as a quick connection system - our chargers are delivered with a clamp set and fused ring terminals so riders can simply plug the charger to the battery without disconnecting it . " With additional features such as an auto-detect for acid and lithium technology to eliminate doubt and internal overheat protection with spark free connection to eliminate reverse polarity and short circuit ." Distributed by Parts Unlimited and Drags Specialties
in the United States , and others including Parts Europe and Parts Canada , BS Battery provides 3 models matching all the latest certifications , applications and needs of the market . The BS10 ( 6V & 12V - 1A ) has a small , safe and road trip practical design ; the ergonomic BS30 ( 12V - 3A ) comes complete with a multi-axis hook ; and the BK20 ( 6V & 12V - 2A ) has been developed mainly for professionals - offering 3 channels of charge with different voltages and chemistries simultaneously , including a reconditioning function .
