EverStart Smart Battery Charger vs Maintainer
Three kinds of charger, three different jobs. Buying the wrong type is the most common mistake.
Maintainer · BM1E
EverStart battery maintainer
A low, steady current that keeps a healthy battery full while a car, bike, mower or boat sits for weeks. Leave it connected all season. Too slow to rescue a flat battery quickly.
Smart charger · BC3E, BC4WE
EverStart 3 and 4 amp chargers
Recharges a flat car battery overnight, then drops to maintain. The BC3E also handles 6-volt batteries. The BC4WE is waterproof, which makes it the EverStart pick for marine use.
Garage charger · BC50BE, BC100BE
EverStart 50 and 100 amp chargers
High-output chargers with an engine start setting that helps crank a car with a weak battery. Good for a home garage or a shop that sees a lot of dead batteries.
EverStart Battery Jump Starter
A jump starter gets a car running with no second vehicle and no outlet. Both EverStart models add a 120 PSI air compressor for tires.
About peak amps: it’s the highest burst the pack can give for an instant. It’s a rough size guide, not the same as a battery’s cranking amps. Bigger engines and cold weather call for the bigger pack.
Recharge it after each use and every few months in storage, or it may be flat when you need it.

How Long an EverStart Charger Takes
Rough times to refill a typical 60 Ah car battery that’s half flat. More amps means faster, but a smart charger slows down near full either way.
| Charger output | Example | Half-flat 60 Ah battery |
|---|---|---|
| 3 amps | EverStart Maxx BC3E | About 12 hours |
| 4 amps | EverStart Maxx BC4WE | About 9 hours |
| 10 amps | Garage charger on a charge setting | About 3.5 hours |
Estimate: amp hours needed × 1.2 ÷ charger amps. The 1.2 covers charging losses.
EverStart Battery Charger FAQ
Can an EverStart charger charge an AGM battery?
Many EverStart chargers have settings for standard, AGM and gel batteries. Check the mode selector on your model and the manual before charging an AGM battery like EverStart Platinum AGM.
What warranty do EverStart chargers have?
Walmart lists a 2-year warranty on the BM1E, BC4WE, 100 amp charger and the J7CE and J5CPDE jump starters. Check each listing for the exact terms.
Which EverStart charger is best for a boat?
The EverStart Maxx BC4WE, because it’s waterproof and made for car and marine batteries.
Can I leave an EverStart maintainer connected all winter?
That’s what a maintainer is for. It tops the battery up only when needed. Check the battery now and then, and follow the manual’s placement and ventilation advice.
Is a jump starter better than a charger?
They do different jobs. A jump starter gets a dead car running right away. A charger slowly restores the battery at home. Many drivers keep one of each.
