A flat car battery is annoying, but it can be recharged with a battery charger. AUTO ZEITUNG gives tips on what car owners should look out for when buying a charger!

If the car battery is empty, vehicle owners can recharge it with a suitable charger. the cost of these little helpers is usually around 100 euros. they save you a trip to the garage and can therefore save you a lot of trouble, time and, if you use them regularly, money too. In general, when buying a charger, make sure that it is designed for a charging voltage of twelve volts, as most car batteries have a voltage at this level. AUTO ZEITUNG provides an overview of the most common functions of chargers for car batteries and tips on purchasing them.

Buying a car battery charger: these functions are recommended

If you want to buy a charger for charging the car battery, you should make sure that it has several functions. ADAC experts recommend universal, fully automatic chargers that are protected against sparking, short circuits and polarity reversal. Furthermore, an integrated temperature compensation of minus degrees in winter is recommended. Ideally, the charger should also have an automatic switch-off function. Some chargers also have a memory function for safe charging after a power failure, a special mode for AGM batteries or for deep-discharging batteries. ÜBy the way: optimized chargers are now also available for cars that have a start-stop function. To find the right type of charger for your car battery, it is always worth taking a look at the vehicle’s operating instructions.

New mobile 12-volt charger works completely self-sufficiently

With the CTEK CS free, the swedish charger specialist offers the first- completely self-sufficient- mobile 12-volt charger. This allows a car battery to be recharged properly without a socket connection. So it’s about more than just a jump start. The compact device is hardly bigger than a lunch box and houses a polymer lithium-ion battery with pouch cells. The kind of cells that are used in many current e-cars. With a capacity of 66 watt hours, the energy reserve should be sufficient to make a starter battery fit again. The CETEK CS free works with a current of 20 amps and charges both 12-volt lead-acid (i.e. car batteries) and all conceivable lithium batteries (cell phone, tablet, laptop, etc.).) with a capacity of 10 to 130 ampere hours fully automatically. even deeply discharged batteries can be revived in this way. With the integrated adaptive boost technology, they are supposed to provide enough energy for the first starting process after only 15 minutes. The handling is very easy and self-explanatory. The red plus and black minus terminals are either connected directly to the car’s battery or- if available- connected to the corresponding charging contacts in the engine compartment. Clever electronics ensure that neither arcing nor polarity reversal cause problems. ÜRed LED signals are also used to indicate possible operating errors. Unlike a jump-start power bank, the CETEK CS free not only provides single or multiple support during the starting process, but also actively shovels energy into the car’s starter battery- as well as a charger that is connected to the wall socket. A conventional "mains plug" charge also works with this new swedish development. If the charger is connected to the wall socket via the power supply unit supplied, it recharges the battery in an electronically controlled manner at around five amps. To recharge the built-in charger battery, i.e. the pouch cells, energy can be used both from the 230-volt socket and from the 12-volt car socket (while driving). For an additional 290 euros, there is a special solar panel that collects enough energy during the day to be ready for the next charge. How well this really works will be shown in our field test, which will begin shortly. From 4.March 2021, the CTEK CS free is available for 290 euros, with a matching case costing 69 euros extra.

Relaxed approach and pragmatic solutions

Among the refugees coming to Germany are many Muslims. The impact of Islam on law, society and administration was the subject of a conference in Ludwigsburg.

Refugees and migration – the buzzwords dominate the news. Many immigrants are Muslims. According to estimates, just under five million of them lived in the Federal Republic at the end of 2016. A conference that ended on Friday dealt with the effects on law, society and administration.

Organizers were the Ludwigsburg University of Public Administration and Finance together with the Center for Islamic Theology of the University of Tubingen.

Child marriages and polygamy in Germany

The focus was on legal ies, resulting conflicts and possible solutions. The Ludwigsburg civil lawyer Christian F. Majer illuminated Islamic family law and thus the hotly debated ies of child marriages and polygamy. Both, however, are not peculiarities of Islamic law. Underage marriage is not recognized in Germany, but the consequences are not considered, criticized the scientist.

He is concerned with the "lived marriage", which is particularly relevant in the case of maintenance. "Why should a 15-year-old be in a worse position than a 16-year-old?" If a woman has children early, she can not provide for their maintenance. According to the current legal situation, the age of marriage in Germany is 18 and, with an exemption, 16. For a foreign marriage the respective homeland right is valid.

On polygamy, Majer said it was a violation of the general principle of equality. There is no entitlement to family reunification for second wives if the first wife already lives in Germany. In general, Majer criticized that family law laws were being passed without thinking through the consequences.

Burqa ban is "symbolic politics

In view of the low number of cases, Bremen lawyer Kirsten Wiese called for a relaxed approach to the ie of face veils.

Efforts to ban the nikab or burqa she called "symbolic politics". Nothing can be achieved with bans on these items of clothing, which are "disadvantageous" to women, he said. In the interest of women, she demanded more criticism of patriarchal structures and of the male-dominated Islamic associations.

Islamic law does not fit the GG

For Bayreuth criminal law expert Christoph Zehetgruber, Islamic criminal law is incompatible with the free democratic basic order. Finally, every criminal law norm must be measured against fundamental rights. For example, corporal punishment would have a character that degrades human dignity and represents an inadmissible encroachment on fundamental rights.

However, he said, everyone should be punished according to individual guilt. Behavior influenced by foreign norms, i.e. personal backgrounds, are to be examined within the framework of the principle of guilt, he said. However, this only applies to cases that do not constitute a core injustice, Zehetgruber said. These included crimes that would be prosecuted in all countries of the world, such as physical violence, homicide and sexual offenses.

"Problem-oriented approach" called for

Mathias Rohe, a private law expert from Erlangen, spoke of conflicts when there is parallel justice. Problems are caused, for example, by the dissolution of exclusively religious marriages, which do not constitute a marriage for German family courts. It applies to look soberly, around which well-being it concerns and in which the protection interests consist. He called for a "problem-oriented approach".

Rohe cited the lack of documents for a civil marriage and the lack of recognition of domestic civil marriages abroad as reasons for parallel justice. Other reasons, he said, were a lack of information, a culture of shame, and a distrust of the state, especially in youth welfare offices. He urged greater promotion of state structures and the "attractive aid system" in Germany among migrants.

Discourse still necessary

For the future, Rohe believes problems with traumatized refugees are possible. Their role models had been confused with the arrival in Germany. Men complained about the loss of their role as breadwinners, women experienced their freedom. "There are massive problems of violence against women seeking divorce," the lawyer said.

Majer believes more debate about Islam is necessary: If the discourse is not conducted, right-wing populists would be strengthened.

The Central Committee of German Catholics wants to use gender-sensitive and gender-appropriate language in the future. In the future, the gender asterisk should be used in the written word.

The Assembly on Saturday approved a motion that gender-sensitive language is desirable in oral language use as well. Here, the use of the gender asterisk is to be expressed by a pause in the place of the asterisk.

The rationale is that language determines thought and consciousness and creates realities. Studies showed that using the generic masculine as well as a neutral form did not lead to the visibility of women or trans, intersex or queer people.

Recognition of every human being

"Through a sensitive use of language, we actively contribute to the equality of all genders and to an appreciative address," according to the resolution of the plenary assembly. The consideration of different gender identities in language is a first step towards the recognition of every human being and his or her dignity, he said. "The use of gendered language makes both women and more non-male people visible."
