Ring 12v 8A SmartCharge- Intelligent battery charger and battery tester







The Ring RSC608 Smart-Charger with Battery Analyser, instantly feels like a well made product with an easy to operate control panel and a bright LCD screen, with the outer casing covered by a protective rubber jacket. The RSC608 is a jack of all trades but in a positive way, as its compatible with various battery types, Lead Acid, Gel, Calcium, AGM and EFB.

This provides a wide range of usage such as cars, lawn mowers, caravans, scooters and golf trolleys etc. The Ring Smart Charger monitors the battery to supply the user with three very important readings: battery voltage as a percentage of capacity, the drop in voltage during engine start-up phase, and alternator output.

There are 7 charging stages built in the RSC608 which makes sure your battery goes through the correct process to being fully charged and with the extra piece of mind that there is no risk off overcharging. There is also an Auto Charge function button that will automatically set the fastest battery charge rate.  

Some of the other useful features are winter mode for assistance when charging in low temperature conditions, and maintenance mode which is ideal for long term seasonal connections. One of my favourites and I’m sure some of us have had it happen, is when we have removed our battery then only to remember we do not have the stereo code. With the memory saver function this allows the vehicle electrical and audio settings to be retained while the battery is removed.

Overall the Ring RSC608 8A Smart charge is a capable machine, combined this with a great LCD display screen in which to view the various functions and test results, makes this a good buy, especially as you get a 5-year warranty as well.


The battery charging and reconditioning is a fully automatic seven stage process:

1. Desulphation - Reduces build-up of sulphate that can damage battery performance and lifespan.
2. Soft Start - Gently introduces voltage to prevent shocking the system.
3. Bulk Charge - Smart Charger automatically selects the fastest charge cycle for your battery.
4. Absorption - Adds the last 20% gently so it is absorbed and held by the battery.
5. Discharge Test - Checks how quickly the battery is losing charge.
6. Recondition - If it is not retaining charge, the battery is reconditioned to improve performance.
7. Float - Maintains battery over long period without overcharging. Ideal to leave plugged in over winter.
