Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

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

It is possible that the charger did some of the prep work and the alternator put in the final juice, but i highly doubt it because the unhooked voltage didn't change at all with use of the charger. If you try to restart it same results or it says bad ...  Read More

The heavy-duty metal case makes it a bit heavy but also makes it sturdy.


Multiple battery type selection is a great feature.

Shipping


By the time the alternator was replaced the car was already ready to go.

Packaging/appearance


As others have mentioned, packaging is very weak and allows for scratches and dents/dings.

Competitiveness


We have a variety of portable jump starters that we got from amazon in the past, that we use specifically for jumping a dead ba...  Read More


If the car/battery is close enough to an outlet (like in a garage perhaps) that won't be as much an issue.

    Didn’t use much but the times when used worked well


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Metal case is good as instructions should clarify features like antisulfation


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    I cant comment on using out in the elements since it gets used in inside my garage


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    That is either charging a dead or dying battery or in the case of a nonstarting car or small truck this black box can do it for you


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    The directions are clearly printed right on the case
