    Our battery chargers and maintainers are compatible with both traditional fuel vehicles (Diesel, Petrol, Methane, LPG) and mixed fuel vehicles (hybrid vehicles, e.g. petrol + electric).

    However, we always invite our customers to check the specific characteristics of their vehicle by consulting the instruction manuals provided by the manufacturer.

    Do you have more than one car? Do you also have a motorbike?


    We recommend that you add another fixing cable with eyelets to your order (see photo), so that using a common screwdriver you can "get your hands dirty" just once and fix a connection cable for each vehicle. Don't worry, all BC products are protected from short circuits and do not produce any sparks: even in the event of an assembly error, you will not be able to cause any damage to the vehicle's control unit or to yourself.

    This way, connecting your BC charger to all your cars (or even your motorbike) will become an operation that takes just a few seconds!
