It’s not a car battery charger and the instructions say so. Unfortunately it’s labeled and sold as one. I bought one that would only flash that power had been supplied, then died and stopped working. Garbage device.

It’s very simple to use and I like the fact that it detects a bad battery.

Its easy to use and I like the option of getting other pigtails and for different batteries and being able to just plug them in without having trying to get clamps to stay on.

I liked its price and ease of use. My battery was dying for lack of use. I can hook this up and leave it because it shuts off when charged. Next time I want my car, the battery is good!

This is a basic Craftsman trickle charger with indicator lights for “charging” and “bad battery”. It’s supposed to be gel battery compatible. Used it on a discharged (meter read 3.3 VDC) Honda gel battery in a new CRV with “technological enhancements” . Most likely some feature or another had remained on overnight. Hooked up the charger. It indicated it was charging and ran for a couple of hours before the “bad battery” light came on. The battery had enough of a charge to activate the low-voltage electronic functions but not enough to crank the engine. Called Honda roadside assistance, they came and jump-started the car. Drove it to the dealer, they charged the battery for an hour or so, and said it was cranking at 600 CCA. Of course, CCA is a rating, not an actual volt/amp reading, and the battery is rated at 450 CCA, but it had started, so drove it home and it hasn’t petered out since. So, the charger is okay as a trickle charger, but can’t get the battery up to cranking amperage. The spec table actully indicates that in a particularly vague manner. Not too big a deal, will try using it to “top up” the battery and see how that goes. However, if you need something capable of geting a battery up to 12 VDC with decent amperage, look elsewhere.

Worked great on my riding lawnmower. Easy setup and charge time.
