These improved bench and wheel chargers are made for durability. An upgraded line of battery chargers are here, and they’re sure to recharge your workbench. Two battery chargers make up this line; a bench charger designed to bring cars, SUVs and small trucks back to life and a wheel charger powerful enough to charge even the largest SUV. Both chargers are durable and user friendly, debuting a higher grade of durable shell casings, handles, clamps and cable constructions.
The button control panels are easy to read and operate and feature an LED display and indicators with button controls. The internal operating systems encompass Intelligent Charging Capabilities with a robust diagnostic system. These upgraded machines are the latest addition to Forney’s shop tool category.
Todd Romero, the Senior Product Manager at Forney Industries believes that the best feature of these machines is their intelligence. “It’s a much more intelligent machine, it takes the guess work away from the user—especially from a DIY perspective.”
