Charge N Start by Batter Tender combines two devices into one

Forget rummaging around in your garage for a trickle charger or jumper cables. The next time you need power for your vehicle’s battery, grab the Charge N Start which combines a jump starter and smart charger into one convenient piece of tech.

When your car battery dies, you need a powerful jump starter to get it going again, but most likely, you also need a charger or trickle charger to give it a little juice. A battery will rarely work right away if it’s dead, especially if it’s been sitting for a while like that. Even if it’s not dead, and you’re storing your vehicle long term, you’ll need a similar setup to keep the battery ready to go. Battery Tender has gone ahead and combined a charger and a portable jump starter into a single convenient and easily transportable device. It’s called the Charge N Start and it’s a beaut.

Engineered in the USA and backed by over 60 years of experience in the field, this innovative device puts power, well, not in your pocket, but pretty darn close. It’s engineered to jump start and charge 12 volt batteries, in whatever vehicles that may include with up to 6 liter engines. That means most cars, trucks, and even electric vehicles. When fully charged, the Charge N Start has enough power to jump start the average car 20 times. More importantly, the smart charging allows you to connect the charger and forget about it — no one wants to stand around waiting for three to seven plus hours.

What’s so special about the Charge N Start from Battery Tender?

It’s fully compatible with all kinds of batteries, and a variety of vehicles, for starters. The Charge N Start works with lead-acid, AGM, and Lithium (LiFePO4) batteries which you’ll find in traditional automotives, marine vehicles, and even powersport vehicles. That makes it truly an all-in-one solution for charging, maintaining, and jump starting, anywhere. If you have multiple vehicles, you can carry this beast with you to make sure everything is on the up and up — and I do mean battery wise.

There are three models, all with the same smart functionality, albeit with incremental power updates:

Charge N Start 1100 ($130) — Combines a 12V, 1 AMP charger and 1000 AMP jump starter for powersports vehicles like motorcycles, personal watercraft, ATVs and UTVs. It’s also capable of jump-starting up to V8 engines.
Charge N Start 1120 ($140) — An enhanced version of the 1100, designed for the same vehicle types but with improved durability and reliability.
Charge N Start 4120 ($170) — Unifies a 12V and 4 AMP charger with a 1200 AMP jump starter, that’s ideal for cars, trucks, boats, SUVs and powersports vehicles.

It’s also safe thanks to smart battery charge level detection, which adjusts accordingly, advanced safety circuit protection to prevent dangerous backfeeding and electrical events, and advanced software that empowers Infinite Sequential Monitoring (ISM). ISM continually monitors the battery condition and adjusts the charge to ensure proper long-term maintenance for increased battery life.

Ultimately, the Charge N Start is accessible, with a lot of great features — including some we haven’t mentioned — that brings a set of age old practical devices under a unified umbrella for easy stow and go.

Who is it for?

Everyone who owns a vehicle, and I do mean everyone. It’s always a plus to have a battery charger, jump starter and maintenance tool handy. You never know when you’ll need it. Actually, that’s a lie. Yes, you do. You’ll need it when your vehicle battery is having some issues.
