Energy for winter caravanning
A dead battery is a real nightmare during winter road trips. When should you invest in a rectifier and who will benefit from a so-called booster, also known as a jump starter?
A rectifier, commonly called a battery charger, is a device that is used to change the voltage from AC to DC. The job of a traditional rectifier is to charge the battery. A jump starter allows you to start your car right away without having to connect it to another car or an electrical outlet.
Many unexpected battery problems can be solved with Osram products.

The package also includes a cable with ring terminals that can be permanently installed in the vehicle to make connecting the charger quicker and easier. The devices also have protection that prevents damage to the vehicle's electrical system due to the effects of reverse polarity.
Booster – for use without access to an outlet
