Simple to use, versatile, fool proof, great value for novice or pro!
I purchased this charger to charge the battery on my lawn tractor, that’s all (although this will work for all of my vehicles too)! I didn’t want a portable unit to jumpstart a vehicle or charge other accessories (this is just a vehicle batter charger like the box says). This charger is very simple to use with a one-touch button interface to get things going. I don’t know anything about charging batteries or jumping vehicles but I was able to set this up and start charging in about 1 minute.
The included instructions are easy to follow and the charger is ready to go right out of the box. Connect the terminals per the instructions for what you are charging; plug the charger into a standard wall outlet (check for fault light indicating an incorrect connection) then press the one and only button to toggle to the desired amp level (explained in the instructions).
The amp levels are easy to see so selecting the correct one is easy to do. This charger is also fully automatic and will properly charge the battery on it’s own at it’s own pace for best performance and battery safety. The charger will tell you when it’s done charging or if anything is wrong (if that’s the case it will display the fault light or will just shut down).
I really like the foolproof design and features (the cables store in the back of the charger) of this simple easy to use charger. I’m not a very handy guy and electricity does make me a little nervous, but using this charger has been a great experience and a joy to use. Whether pro or beginner if you need a battery charger but are a little intimidated by the experience try this one you’ll love it!

Gets the job done
When I first opened the box it looked like a toy, being very small. But I used it to recharge my 2 deep cycle batteries for my RV and it gets the job done just fine. There is some fan noise but that doesn’t bother me. I would recommend this product and by the way the warranty was even longer than was stated on the Amazon page.

Handy little charger
This device works very well to complement the sound of a battery is low or trickle charge a storage battery. However, if the battery is completely discharged, the device incorporates automatic protection will give an error state and refuse to charge until you use another method of forcing a partial charge of the battery.
