Let us look at the Megaboost MB110 battery charger in this blog. We are going to dive deep and analyze in-depth the features, advantages and the uses of Mega boost MB1100 batteries here.
Before going into the topic, first let`s have a small brief overview of battery, battery chargers, their working, etc. Batteries have become an indispensable part of our lives and we can find them everywhere we go.
What is Battery?
Battery is a storage device which stores energy and this energy can be used as per our requirements and needs. They can be classified depending upon the energy storage as electrical, mechanical, etc. Electrical batteries are the most common type of batteries used and find themselves in almost all the devices. Electrical batteries are made up of one or more electrochemical cells with external connections to the power devices.
They are made up of two connections normally called a positive and negative connection. The positive end is called as the cathode and the other end is called as the anode. The power is supplied to the devices that are connected across the positive and negative ends.

How is a battery charged?
A battery can be a single-use type or chargeable type. The batteries that are used in vehicles, high-end applications, and automotive purposes are chargeable batteries. Alkaline-based batteries are used only once whereas Lithium-ion or Lead-acid batteries can be used multiple times after charging. Batteries convert chemical energy into electrical energy and store the power in them. High energy metals such as Lithium or lead can be used to store the power usually as they are not stabilized during the electron bonding process. The chemical reactions in the battery are reversed when electric power is supplied across them. This process regenerates the original chemical reactants and the battery is charged and power is stored as electrical energy. This electrical energy can be used for our applications. Rechargeable batteries find themselves in a wide variety of industrial, domestic and automobile applications due to their ability to re-use multiple times. One of the most common applications is our mobile phones where charge our batteries and re-use daily.
Megaboost MB1100 Battery charger – Overview
Megaboost MB1100 battery charger is capable of charging lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries up to 40 Ah. It is mainly used to charge batteries present in the motorcycles, ATVs, Lawnmowers, marine, power sport, and deep-cycle applications. It is made of the latest cutting edge technology that delivers superior performance. It has a spark-proof technology that gives protection from reverse polarity and overcharging. Megaboost MB1100 battery charger can be left connected to the batteries 24/7 and it won’t cause any damage to the batteries. Megaboost MB1100 can be used to maintain and repair the batteries too are also called as battery maintainers.
Megaboost MB1100 as a battery maintainer
Batteries are essential components of our vehicle systems. They power both the electronics and starting system of the vehicle. They are recharged regularly through alternator and functions superbly. Now, imagine if you are not using your vehicle regularly and your battery is left in the idle state for a long time. These batteries require special charging and maintenance devices to make them ready to use. These special charging devices used to maintain batteries in the ideal state for a long time is called battery maintainer. Normal chargers charge your batteries completely whereas the maintainers are designed to supply a small amount of electricity to your batteries for a long time. This small trickle of charge stops the self-discharge in the batteries. And the trickle has not enough power to overcharge the batteries. A battery maintainer can charge the fully drained batteries whereas a normal charger can`t. Megaboost MB1100 can be used to charge the lead-acid and lithium-ion batteries that are completely drained and also used to maintain or repair the battery as a maintainer.
