Review: Must have item at a great price - So I ended up needing to get one of these because I'm off work and stuck at home having broken my ankle in 2 places quite badly meaning I can't drive. Recovery time is about 3 months so I needed to make sure my BMW 5 Series stayed in a workable condition. I've never had a battery charger or any trickle charger/maintainer before but someone mentioned I should get one so I went looking into it. I checked a lot of different products including BMW own brand (and almost bought that for piece of mind) but then stumbled across this at almost 20% cheaper than most products of a similar nature, and it had decent reviews too, so I bought it. On arrival, unpacking showed I have 2 connection options - croc clips for easy-to-remove connection to the +/- terminal points in the bonnet or actual clamps that screw on for a more "permanent" option. I went for the crocodile clips. The unit itself is tiny and IP65 rated to be used outside in fully waterproof and dustproof casing. The lead was about 2m which was JUST enough to reach from my driveway into my kitchen window but I need to use an extension lead up to the window to get it to a power socket - the cable could have been a lot longer. Connected up and following instructions - which were very easy to follow - I switched it on - it has a very simple panel - a circle button to switch power modes (it automatically selects 12V and my car needs 12V so did not touch this button at all), and a start play button. If at this point you've not connected the Battery Maintainer up correctly it apparently will beep loudly to let you know and one of the lights on the unit lights up RED. It spends the first few hours after hitting play button it assesses the condition of the battery before moving to a trickle charge mode. It took almost 2 days but it slowly charged my battery back to 100% and in the morning on the second day I heard a beep outside - that was the unit telling me it's charged. At this point the unit changes itself to a FLOAT mode. This keeps the battery at 100% condition very carefully using minimal power to do so - I've left the unit for a week now on this setting. This will help desuplhur the battery too as when left to run low, sulphur can build up and damage the efficiency of the battery. This is a great piece of kit all round. It is keeping my battery maintained in perfect condition while I'm unable to drive it for 3mths giving me piece of mind and a worthy investment as it's something I should have bought years ago! The only negative is the lead being only around 2m (1m each side of the unit) - it should be at least twice that length in my opinion, though if you have a garage with a plug point inside it wouldn't be an issue. Review: Good value, well made and does the job! - I bought this product to use on a classic car that only gets used occasionally and in good weather. I needed a trickle charger that I could trust and was safe to leave on in a garage for long periods in winter when the car was rarely used. This does the job really well and maintains the 12v battery at a healthy level so that I can start the car first time and no longer need to keep recharging a flat battery. It’s competitively priced vs others on the market and a well known brand. It is easy to use and the instructions are clear, just make sure you follow them. Cable lengths are good approx 1.5m cable from the unit to the mains plug and 1.5m cable to the sturdy clips that connect to the battery. I have had this product and used it for 2 months now with no issues. I would recommend this product if you want a trickle charger. Important to note that it is not a product that charges a flat battery, but one that maintains a health battery at the right level if the vehicle is only used occasionally. You can spend more money on competitor products, but for what it is I think it’s good value and fit for purpose. ## Features - IDEAL for car batteries that need a top-up and used by AA Patrols - SUITABLE for all types of 6 V and 12 V lead-acid and gel batteries - SAFETY covered by protection against reverse polarity and short circuits - INTELLIGENT in-built microprocessor automatically assesses battery health and delivers the correct current and voltage - INCLUDES crocodile and eyelet connectors plus instructions ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00DW6RHN2 | | Amperage | 1.5 Amps | | Best Sellers Rank | 1,934 in Automotive ( See Top 100 in Automotive ) 26 in Car Battery Charging Units | | Brand | AA | | Brand Name | AA | | Colour | Black/Yellow | | Compatible Devices | 6V & 12V lead-acid and gel batteries | | Connector Types | Crocodile Clamps, Eyelet Connectors | | Current Rating | 1.5 Amps | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,103 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 05060114614956 | | Input Voltage | 12 Volts | | Input voltage | 12 Volts | | Item Type Name | CAR BATTERY CHARGER & MAINTAINER | | Item Weight | 295 Grams | | Item weight | 295 Grams | | Manufacturer | AA Car Essentials | | Manufacturer Part Number | AA4956 | | Model Number | AA4956 | | Number of Items | 4 | | Number of Packs | 1 | | Number of Ports | 2 | | Output Voltage | 6 Volts (DC) | | Output voltage | 6 Volts (DC) | | Specification Met | CE | | Specification met | CE | | Unit Count | 1.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** AA - **Colour:** Black/Yellow - **Item weight:** 295 Grams - **Output voltage:** 6 Volts (DC) - **Specification met:** CE ## Images ![AA AA4956 Car Battery Charger Maintainer UK Plug Fully Automatic with Crocodile Clamps Eyelet Connectors As Used By AA Patrols,Black/Yellow,1.5 Amp 6 V/12 V, Packaging May Vary - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61VPMmW1UwL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size, Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Can I leave this charger on my car for 6 weeks when I am away from home and is it safe to plug into 6amp socket in garage?** A: There would be no problem. The charger is microprocessor controlled and falls to a maintenance level when the battery is fully charged. Since it is fused at 3 amps it would be quite happy with a 6 amp supply. **Q: can charger be used whilst battery is still fitted to car.** A: Yes. Its designed to maintain your battery while connected to the car. Its not the fastest charger on the market but then thats not its prime purpose. **Q: can you charge battery still conected to car** A: Yes, this is the best way to charge the battery, you can also leave the charger on the car as long as you like as it will shut of when not needed and if the battery needs a top up it will start to charge again . This charger is plug and forget . **Q: Can this charger be used when battery is not connected to the vehicle** A: I have successfully used this to charge the battery both when it has been fully disconnected from the car and also while it is in place and connected. It comes with clips to attach to the terminals for a temporary connection and also a cable that you can permanently connect to the battery to make it very quick and simply to connect the charger for a top-up. I've been very happy with this and would absolutely recommend it. It's not the fastest charger if you have a deep discharge, but it has the intelligence to cut out when full and switch to trickle charge which made it my first choice. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Must have item at a great price *by L***E on 27 July 2020* So I ended up needing to get one of these because I'm off work and stuck at home having broken my ankle in 2 places quite badly meaning I can't drive.

It is compact and easy to use. I have been using it to make sure my diesel car will start in this cold weather. I do a lot of stop start journeys and this runs the battery down without sufficiently recharging my car. I would recommend this charger/ maintainer to anyone in a similar situation. The product was at a fair price and has saved me the worry of not being able to start the car. The product is sturdy and hopefully will remain in good service for a long time. It was recommended to me by the mechanic who came to get my car started on a cold day. After testing the battery to be in good health he informed me of the problems of starting a diesel engine in cold weather that does not do many miles and flattens the battery by short stop/ start journeys. ## Frequently Bought Together - AA AA4956 Car Battery Charger Maintainer UK Plug Fully Automatic with Crocodile Clamps Eyelet Connectors As Used By AA Patrols,Black/Yellow,1.5 Amp 6 V/12 V, Packaging May Vary - AA 12V Digital Tyre Inflator AA5502 – For Cars Other Vehicles Inflatables Bicycles - Shows PSI BAR KPA 3-100 PSI – Includes Adaptors, Black - AA Insulated Booster Cables/Jump Leads AA4550 - For Petrol/Diesel Engines Up to 3000cc, 3 m Cable, Storage Bag --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48090551-aa-aa4956-car-battery-charger-maintainer-uk-plug-fully-automatic](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/48090551-aa-aa4956-car-battery-charger-maintainer-uk-plug-fully-automatic) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-09-08*
