If you’ve ever dealt with a dead car battery on a cold morning—or after parking a boat or ATV all winter—you know the headache. That’s where the FOVAL 12V Trickle Charger (2-pack) comes in. This compact, automatic charger doubles as a battery maintainer, keeping your 12V lead acid batteries ready to go without overcharging or overheating.

What’s in the Box
2 x FOVAL 1000mA 12V Trickle Chargers 2 x AC Power Cords 2 x DC Output Cables with Alligator Clips 2 x DC Output Cables with Ring Connectors 1 x User Guide
You basically get two complete charging kits, which is handy if you’ve got more than one vehicle or want to leave one connected to something like a lawn tractor.
Why It’s Worth Considering
The standout here is the “set it and forget it” design. Once hooked up, the charger adapts in real time (via ISM Adaptive Charging) and automatically switches to maintenance mode once the battery is topped off. That means no babysitting required.
In my case, this would be perfect for keeping Sandy, my St. Bernard’s outdoor electric fence battery topped off all winter. Or for Fiona the bulldog’s “chariot”—our old riding mower that likes to sit idle half the year. A trickle charger like this saves me from pulling the battery, dragging it inside, and hoping it holds a charge come spring.
Final Take
The FOVAL 12V Trickle Charger (2-Pack) is a solid choice if you:
Want a safe, automatic way to keep your batteries healthy Own multiple vehicles, boats, or seasonal equipment Prefer compact tools that don’t take up garage space
At this price point, getting two chargers in one pack is a practical deal—especially compared to replacing even a single dead battery.
