MPL 10 - Tower Garages

The charger is compact, lightweight and easy to use. Once you get used to the red, amber and green light system, it’s easy to see what state of charge a battery is at. Even when the battery is fully charged, the charger reverts to reconditioning so that the charger can be left on indefinitely with no damage to the battery. The switch on the front lets you choose between conventional / AGM, and calcium/silver types of battery, and there is also a warning if you connect the leads up incorrectly, which is always useful!

Being able to disconnect the leads by way of a plug in block connector is also a good idea, as we have all damaged the leads and clamps at some point, and this makes it easy to fit new ones. The extra-long power lead is also useful a it means you aren’t trailing extension leads across the workshop floor.

The unit is small enough to be unobtrusive when carrying out diagnostic work when key on/engine off, and keeps the battery at a constant voltage so that no data gets lost. At this time of year, it is a great asset to know that our customers’ batteries are in top condition when they leave the workshop, and can mean the difference between trouble-free motoring and a breakdown as outside temperatures drop.

This range of battery chargers cover the whole automotive industry, and the MPL10 is the ideal unit for a small independent workshop like us. It’s always reassuring to know that the kit we use in our workshop is also OEM recommended.”
