FAQs

Trickle charger — low output (typically 1-2A), used to maintain charge on a battery in storage or on a vehicle that's used infrequently. Cannot recharge a flat battery in reasonable time. Smart charger — microprocessor-controlled multi-stage charger that adjusts output as the battery charges; the trade default for daily workshop charging. Rapid charger — high output (typically 20-100A), used in time-pressured fleet workshops to fast-charge multiple batteries. Rapid charging stresses the battery and shortens service life if used routinely; smart-charging at moderate currents is gentler.

Match peak amps (PA) to the application. Cars and light vans — 600-800 PA covers most petrol and diesel engines up to ~3.0 litres. Larger diesels, vans, and 4×4s — 1,000-1,200 PA. Commercial vehicles, tractors, and plant — 1,500-2,000 PA at 12V; for 24V systems (heavier commercial), 3,000+ PA combined 12V/24V output. The Sealey RoadStart range covers the spectrum from 600 PA emergency packs through to 3,000 PA twin-voltage commercial units. Always size up rather than down — an undersized booster cycles rapidly and may fail to crank in cold conditions.

Most modern smart chargers — Sealey, SIP, Draper — explicitly support AGM and EFB battery chemistries through dedicated charging programmes that adjust voltage and current curves to the battery type. The charger will have a chemistry-selector switch or auto-detection. Charging an AGM battery on a basic flooded-battery-only charger can over-pressurise the AGM and damage it. Always check the charger specification supports your battery chemistry before connecting. Lithium-ion batteries require a dedicated lithium charger and must not be charged on lead-acid chargers.

Sealey leads with battery chargers, jump-start boosters, and the RoadStart emergency jump-starter range, plus generators and site transformers. SIP covers generators and battery-charging applications. Draper covers the entry-trade end of chargers, boosters, and accessories. We also carry Chicago Pneumatic for pneumatic-tool accessories where compressed air is involved.

Power Tools & Accessories

Power Tools Accessories covers the supporting equipment that keeps a workshop's power tools and battery-electrical systems running — battery chargers, jump-start boosters, mains-to-low-voltage transformers, generators, charging accessories, and the power-conditioning equipment used in trade workshops, fleet maintenance bays, and mobile-service vehicles. Parts For Machines supplies these accessories for trade and industrial use across automotive, agricultural, plant, and commercial fleet applications. Within Power Tools Accessories you will find Chargers and Boosters (the largest sub-category — covering battery chargers, jump-start booster packs, battery testers and analysers, and battery-care accessories), Battery Chargers as a standalone leaf (specifically the trickle, smart, and rapid-charge units used in workshop battery management), and Generators and Transformers (mains generators for site and emergency use, and 110V/240V transformers for site-supply applications). Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Sealey, SIP, and Draper across power-tool accessories. Sealey leads on battery chargers, boosters, and the jump-start range — the Sealey RoadStart series of emergency jump starters is the trade standard. SIP covers generator and battery-charging applications. Draper covers entry-trade chargers and accessories. We also carry Chicago Pneumatic accessories where pneumatic-powered tools are involved. Battery chargers are sold by application: trickle chargers (low-current, long-duration — for storage and battery maintenance), smart chargers (microprocessor-controlled multi-stage charging — the trade default for daily charging), and rapid chargers (high-current — for time-pressured fleet workshops). Output capacities span 12V, 24V, and dual-voltage units; current ranges from 1A trickle through 100A+ for industrial fleet chargers. Booster packs are rated by peak amps (PA) and continuous amps. For routine cars and light vans, 600–800 PA covers most jump-starts. For commercial vehicles, agricultural tractors, and plant equipment, 1,200 PA and above is required — heavy-duty boosters running 12V/24V combined output at 3,000 PA exist for the largest applications. Product pages list peak amps, continuous amps, internal-battery capacity, and the supported vehicle type.
