The draper bclcd5 is a 5a smart battery charger designed for charging and maintaining 6v and 12v lead-acid batteries in automotive and leisure applications. Suitable for a wide range of battery types including flooded, maintenance-free, agm, and gel, it handles capacities from 4ah to 150ah making it equally at home in a home garage, workshop, or professional environment. The smart charging system helps optimise battery performance and extend service life, rather than simply delivering a fixed charge. A low charging start voltage of 1.5V means the unit can recover deeply discharged batteries that simpler chargers would fail to detect. The lcd display provides clear, at-a-glance status information throughout the charging process, while built-in reverse polarity and short-circuit protection add a practical layer of safety during connection. Rated ip54, it offers a degree of protection against dust and water ingress suitable for typical workshop conditions.
