The XC 0.8 offers a four-step cycle for 6 volt batteries from 1.2 to 100Ah, so is a perfect choice to charge and maintain moped, motorbike and vintage car batteries.

The MXS 5.0 is an eight-step charger, which comprises professional functions, including 'recond', which reconditions deeply discharged and stratified batteries. Furthermore, it presents the user with a diagnosis on whether the battery can retain a charge and has a mode for optimised charging in very cold weather.

Undertaking a and maintenance routine on any vehicle, from a moped to a car, an electric wheelchair to a boat, is the smart thing to do, in order to prolong the battery life. However, it becomes even more important when the vehicle is being used irregularly to avoid permanent damage through discharge."
