Perfect for lawn tractors or any winter battery maintenance Review by Jason
-
This isn't a charger, it's a maintainer...so if your battery is in good shape, this product will keep it that way - and may even improve it. I use it on my lawn mower over the winter, and I love it. It also keeps batteries ready to go in cold weather too. My father uses one on his Harley Davidson on a battery that seemed like needed to be replaced and it has extended that battery life by an additional 2 years so far.
Catch 'em on sale for $3.99, and you can't go wrong.

great! Review by Doug
-
Dave (5-20-10) said this charger ruined his battery. He said that he had it on his battery all winter and in the spring his battery was sulfated. My guess is he didn't get it connected properly, or the charger wasn't functioning. The only way his battery could be sulfated is if it wasn't charged all winter. This is a super product.

You want this Review by BrotherJethro
-
What can I add to what everyone else said? I have at least 6 of these running in my garage. They work great, and flooded lead-acid batteries will last 5+ years with them.

Work Great Review by Steve
-
Me, my father and father-in-law been using these for years. We us them to keep our tractor batteries up during he winter. The vehicles up when wintering in Florida and now use them on the RV's when not in use. I have not had any fail yet but have a few spares on hand just in case or to give to friends. I usually end up giving them away and have to order new spares. For the price how can you go wrong. I would give 5 stars if there was a better way for a permanent mount.

Great charger for the money Review by Gpenn
-
What else can I say? This is a great charger. It charged my motorcycle battery all winter. Someone said in their review that it fried his battery. Well the manual clearly tells you to monitor the charge every so often. I checked mine every week and it was steady 13.4v For the price you cant beat it.

Made in China is not what it use to be. Review by Tacoma Boy
-
Best float charger hands down for the price. Made in China is not what it use to be. Look over the name brand chargers and see where it's made. Chances are, it's the same components but rebranded with a higher price. Now if only they would come up with a model with a pulse/desulfator mode. Paired this unit up with a stand alone desulfator unit and you'll never have to buy another battery again.

Pictures show charging and AGM battery Review by No AGM 4 U
-
Hi,
Great wet cell (car type) battery maintainer for $4.
Very misleading photos however. The first one shows it conncted to a AGM/Sealed battery and that modern sport bike also has a Sealed battery.
2/3 of the pictures show what this charger CAN NOT be used for.
Ergo, 2 stars

Best value Review by Jim Apicella
-
This little charger at normal retail of $9.99 is a good buy,at the sale price of $3.99 it is a fantastic buy.Quality product.There is a notation in the instruction manual that this charger is not to be used to recharge a completely dead battery,I personally have brought at least 5 "completely dead" batteries with no apparent damage to the charger.I have purchased at least 10 of these little jewels as gifts and keep one in each of my vehicles and in my shop.I have been using them for 5 years and have never had a failure.Great gift for a male friend(can also be used for a gag gift-your battery seems to be a little low lately.Cannot go wrong.

Junk! Review by Dave
-
This thing RUINED a new motorcycle battery on me - I had it out of the bike and in my heated workshop and on this float charger all winter. The battery was sulfated and junk in the spring as it apparently overcharged it ALL WINTER! :( - spend some more $$ and buy a quality one..

Worth way more than it cost ! Review by IzzyK
-
I've used these for my boat batteries, my motorcycle batteries, and some large 12v video equipment batteries. As long as the battery is fully charged when you connect this unit it will easily maintain the charge for months on end. It would be nice if it was a one-piece unit with slightly larger wire and the interchangable ends that the more expensive units have, but heck....I only pay about 4 bucks for these when they go on sale! I have two extras I bought just to have in case one gives up the ghost, but they just seem to keep ticking along!
It says "not for use on AGM batteries", however I have with no problems. I hope I'm not taking a risk here?

Not for AGM or Gel batteries Review by JA
-
Buyer beware! Owner's manual (available for download on this page) warns to not use this charger with an AGM or gel-type lead cell battery, it can only be used with flooded wet cell batteries (the kind with removable cell caps that you need to top up with water).
Most all modern motorcycles, etc come stock with AGM batteries these days, so be sure before you buy.
For example, if your Yuasa battery has the letters "MF" (maintenance free) on it, it is AGM and can't be maintained with this charger.
Great price, if you have an old fashioned flooded cell battery.
3 star rating reflects the fact that it isn't very versatile for modern batteries.

Worth every penny Review by York
-
I've got three of these chargers all over the house and garage. I've seen them on sale as low as $3.99. They are great. Simple and effective. I have a lot of vehicles that I don't use all the time, and I used to have big problems with the batteries. It's very important to keep those batteries charged; they'll last much longer! Now when spring motorcycle season arrives I know that thing will turn right over, and I can go out and ride, instead of driving to the parts store to buy a new battery. I just leave them on and forget them. I don't think the float circuit is very sophisticated, but it seems to do the job. Cord could be longer with thicker gauge wire.
