Pros & Cons
Pros
We think it's better than the typical trickle charger. It's about the best you can do without buying one of chargers that has wheels and is about the size of large luggage. Have suv and car and motorcycle so it comes in handy for all.
The unit automatically detects whether your battery is a 6 volt or 12 volt. Ran across someone waiting on a mechanic to replace their alternator. This is also much heavier built than most 6/12 volt chargers.
Cons

Ive been trying to find a battery charger that doesnt autosense the voltage or doesnt have a 6volt option so that i can actually change a very dead 12volt battery without the thing defaulting to a 6volt charge

I thought it was broken because it never did indicate a full100 charge after a couple days hooked to a battery even the battery would test with basic home shop equipment as good and would start the car

It turns out that if i left it connected for a couple weeks it would reach a 100 full charge indication

Metal case is good as instructions should clarify features like antisulfation
