This independently powered unit is extremely versatile and practical. These units are usually compact and are built just big enough to fit over both poles of most regulator approved batteries.

Eliminating the need for an external power source to provide the energy needed to restart the vehicle. At Glen Burnie Towing Services we employ only the highest quality portable battery chargers to ensure we deliver. First time, every time
