    116 customers mention110 positive6 negative

    21 customers mention17 positive4 negative

    Customers like the display of the battery charger. They say it displays the current charge percentage as it charges, and the status display allows them to monitor the charging progress.

    131 customers mention66 positive65 negative

    Customers are mixed about the battery life of the charger.

    "...to use, works perfectly, goes to float mode when charged so it doesn't over charge. all the features at less then half the price vs tender...." Read more

    "...The instructions with the charger says it cannot charge a car battery...." Read more

    "...The smarts in the unit really work and have brought a few batteries back to life." Read more

    "...The unit is a bit larger then tender, no impact to me. I have more then one to charge motorcycle, lawnmower and cars...." Read more

    "...Nice and small and better than others where it has a red LED, solid green LED, flashing green LED, pulsating green LED, gyrating green LED...." Read more

    "...The unit is well-made and compact.I was not paid to write this review." Read more

    18 customers mention5 positive13 negative

    Customers are dissatisfied with the auto feature of the battery charger. They mention that they must first select the battery type, which kills the fully automatic claim.

    "...One thing I will note is it’s not fully automatic, after you connect the battery first and then plug in the charger to the 110v outlet..." Read more

    "...have and you don't want to make a mistake, many of these are not automatic selecting, you need to select what battery type with this one which can..." Read more

    "...I like that this model is automatic so I didn’t have to figure out whether my car battery was 6 or 12 volts (it senses it and adjusts as needed)...." Read more

    "As others have reported, it's not really 'automatic' as one has to re-select the type of battery when the AC power is interrupted; it doesn't..." Read more

    Easy to use; works great.
    5 Stars
    Easy to use; works great.
    I used this battery maintainer to keep the car battery charged while we were out of town. I don’t have any auto experience, but it was easy for me to use, the instructions are clear, and it worked great. I like that this model is automatic so I didn’t have to figure out whether my car battery was 6 or 12 volts (it senses it and adjusts as needed). I also like that as a safety measure, it won’t come on, unless the batter is connected correctly. I am pleased with this and recommend it.I write honest reviews to help others make informed purchases because I read reviews myself and appreciate how helpful they can be. I hope that my review helped you!
