Customer Reviews

Very good charger.5
I had accidentally kept the light in my car on ... and it was sitting like that in garage for 3 days, so the battery was dead when I tried to start it.

Purchased this unit at target (same price), came back. This was the first time in my life to charge the battery. However, setup took only a minute. It started to charge the battery. I waited for approx 4 hours and the battery was fully charged. Disconnected and tried to start the car. Voila, started in first attempt. Saved me the hassle of calling jump start.

I cannot comment on technical details, but it worked like a charm for me for a dead car battery.

Needs Improvement3
I found the charger's display to be much too dim for daylight viewing. I have seen two chargers and they were both that way. It looks good in very low light or at night, but in sunlight it is just impossible to tell what is going on. Just another note - be patient after you connect it to the battery as it can take over a minute for the charging process to start.

Use on AGM5
I initially bought this through cosco and it didn't work - not their fault - and after returning it I found it cheaper through Amazon. I've used it for about a month to charge a large,630 Amphr, AGM, battery bank. So far it has worked as intended.
