Customers like the battery charger. They say it's easy to use and works as expected. It can be great for charging deep cycle batteries, a good multistage charger. The AGM mode is the key, it charges the batteries at a higher rate, and this helps balance and de-sulphate them. The 2/10/20 amp charge options are also appreciated.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
Decided to put my trust on this one due to the reviews and comments from PRO's online. 1st job I gave is the toughest retrofitting CIC infotainment with a continuous programming session of an hour and a half in a - 40 environment (yeah I couldn't wait!) and boom! I got my Navi and combox back on track! (Battery on full charge to start)
4 stars coz haven't get to play on it that long yet without any problems but with its charging ability that's all in one and proven performance for whats advertised, you can't go wrong for the worth you pay for this golden thing!
And for the record, I've been with Amazon as a prime member for 3yrs. now and bought a good volume of merchandise since then - THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I FELT OBLIDGED TO MAKE AN EFFORT TO WRITE SOMETHING! chao..
At first this charger did not do very well, due to my learning curve with it. What I learned is: for it to work best, on any battery, make sure the battery is low first. If you are charging a nearly full battery this will do very little for it. You must use a light bulb or something to get the battery down to 12.1 or 12.0 volts, then use this charger in agm mode on 20 amps (use 10 amps for smaller batteries) to achieve an excellent charge. I have used it on 3 agms, 2 were 6 volts, and 2 regular flooded lead acid car batteries and it has worked great on all of them after following the procedure of draining them down low first, then charging. If your battery is already dead, you may have to use boost mode to force charge it from stone dead. Not all batteries will come back to life if they are damaged or too old.
The AGM mode is the key, it charges the batteries at a higher rate and this helps balance and de-sulfate them. I would not use this mode regularly on flooded batteries, but once in a while is a good refresh for them. I'm not sure that I would use it on GEL batteries either as I have no experience there.
The 20 amps of this charger is also key, most 10 amp chargers do not satisfy the 0.3c charge rate of normal car and truck batteries, I feel the 20amps also give it an edge over noco's 10 amp unit.
Overall I am happy with it now that I understand how to use it for the best charge possible.
Note: if using this as a maintainer you should probably select the correct mode for your battery type. My process is only for balance charging batteries. I make no claim that it will work for you and take no responsibility for any issues you may have, use at your own risk.

2.0 out of 5 stars Bueno mientras sirvió
No lo recomiendo
5.0 out of 5 stars Great foor what it is, lacks 1 feature Id like and another that would help
I have owned and used chargers by Associated, Midtronics, Schumacher, Opti, Clore, and the 3 major tool companies (80% of which are subcontracted by one of the above, though some of their chargers have been unique to themselves).
Lets start with what this does. Its a "Smart charger". Meaning it has various methods of checking a battery it is connected to and it self determines if and how to charge it within the parameters selected if the battery doesnt fail testing. Though it claims to have a POWER SUPPLY mode, It is NOT a power supply charger and should not be depended upon as such. If you need something to power your motorhome or maintain a charge while programming, this is not the best choice. (Sure on a ford or a GM it probably would manage, however on european cars there is significantly higher current draw during programming, some exceeding 75 amps! This charger does not make 75 amps! It makes 20 on high speed mode)
That isnt a knock, it is simply a statement, dont buy this thinking you can watch TV and cook microwave popcorn while sitting in the trailer with an extension cord. It doesnt do that and may be destroyed if you force it to try.
NOW, what it DOES do. It medium speed charges car batteries. I specifically tried it on a battery with a shorted single cell (Dont ask how I know this, or how youd know, call it a bad battery). What this means is this battery will hold a charge, but weakly, it may self drain (The shorted cell drains voltage from the other cells). I have previously been able to charge similar batteries to 10 or 11v using a standard non-smart charger and brute force charging, but they still dont last, they may drain in a day or a week, and they wont supply full current load when needed. This charger refused to start charging the weakened battery. If left in sulfation mode, it eventually charged to 2.5v, and always stopped there and eventually ended with an ERROR display. This is normal and correct for a smart charger, they dont like trying to charge defective tested batteries.
Where that can be an annoyance is old lead-acid batteries. They develop sulfation, what amounts to deposits (Think of it like mold on bread) and it prevents them from taking in a charge. This material can be burned off with a high intensity charge and the battery can fully recover, but a smart charge will sense the battery as not taking enough current in the test phase and refuse to engage a charge (like this one did) so you cant really desulfate batteries well with a smart charger unless they are only very lightly sulfated and still taking a relatively high current load.
A very few smart chargers have a "Manual mode" that is not smart. It lets you select a timed or constant charge at a voltage you select (Usually 13.5 or 14 or whatever preset number) and the charger puts that amount into the cables for the time selected. This is what we call manual or brute force charge, there is no testing, no safety shutdowns, no idea if the battery is overheating or boiling its cells. Its useful when needed, but for the most part it should only be used when needed. AGM and GEL batteries cannot withstand high amp charges for very long at all. Smart chargers know this (when the proper mode is used!) and will pulse the voltage in and pause at times to allow the battery to cool and prevent damage. This charger seems to do that, as I watched it engage and disengage every few minutes in AGM mode, it was longer and more stable in lead-acid mode.
I was trying to decide which charger I would go with, the extremely highly rated Schumacher, or this one (about the same price). I chose this one because of several reviews and a few videos showing the schumacher's smart mode preventing a 0v battery from charging almost always. This again is normal, if the battery is asleep from long sitting at 0v, or badly sulfated, the smart charger shuts down. Both chargers have desulfate modes, but from the reading this one seemed to work more often down to 3-4v, the shumacher almost universally would not charge a battery that wouldnt stabilize at 5v before charging begins. I charged 2 -DEAD ZERO- volts batteries using this charger. the 3rd (a known defective but barely chargeable battery) did NOT charge and would not begin the process UNTIL I manually charged it for 45 minutes with jumper cables on my idling car. Then it came up to 10v, and the charger attempted charging finally. I let it sit in sulfation mode 3x as a test and NEVER did it command full charging until I manually charged the battery. It would sit in sulfation trickle mode several hours then end charging with error. Even though with some help it would begin charge on the same battery the next day. After charging this battery tested bad both with a conductance tester and with a load tester, but according to load, it was capable of passing a 240cca load (which means capacity of a 480cca battery). The battery was in fact a 650cca unit so it was significantly compromised. I keep it for test purposes.
The high rate of 20amps on the Clore charger is what Id call adequate. Its not a speed charger, 30-50 amps are fast, but fast charging comes with its own set of issues, the best way to charge a battery is long and slow. Better for the battery. fast charging heats it, and heat shortens life.
Its light weght which may be fine, but doesnt impress me. heavier probably means more metal, more heat sinks, more quality. But its not a featherweight. The Shumacher is heavier.
Ive had it a week, so testing is still in progress, but so far, it is a good basic smart charger with fewer features than the competitor (Schumacher) but it seems to do what it claims pretty well.
The Shumacher also claims to have a boost mode of higher amps (they use it as their desulfation mode) and a cranking mode of 50amps. 50amps cranking assist isnt much at all. If a battery is SLIGHTLY weak, say 10v charge, where it cranks slow already, that might be adequate. But starters draw 150-300 amps typically. 50a output may come in low and if it does, then the starter will demand whats missing from the battery and the charger, and the excess current draw can be destructive to a charger. Hence why jumper packs state 800-1000cca, they can deliver 200-400 amps at once, and have room to spare.
At this point, Its doing what has been asked. No complaints yet, but gonna try another battery on it tomorrow, and also some current probe measurements during charge.
