The Draper BCMC18 is a professional-grade 16A battery charger designed for automotive workshops, mobile mechanics and fleet maintenance operations. Equipped with intelligent microprocessor control, this versatile charger handles lead-acid, Gel, AGM and maintenance-free batteries across 12V and 24V systems, making it suitable for cars, vans, commercial vehicles and plant machinery. The large LCD display provides clear visibility of charging status, whilst the mode selection control panel offers flexible charging rates of 2A, 5A, 8A and 16A at 12V, or 2A, 5A and 8A at 24V. This range of charging options allows you to select the optimal rate for battery size and condition, from maintaining smaller batteries to rapid charging of larger commercial vehicle batteries. Integrated polarity protection prevents incorrect connection, safeguarding both the charger and battery. Built for demanding workshop environments, the rugged housing protects the internal microprocessor whilst heavy-duty carry handles enable easy transportation between vehicles or storage. Practical features include onboard power cord storage and a clamp holder to keep cables organised, plus dual USB ports (1.0A and 2.4A) for charging mobile devices – particularly useful for diagnostics equipment or keeping a phone powered during extended jobs.
