Bought this to recharge my battery, as the battery went dead as a result of forgetting to switch off the sidelight while parked and had to jump start. I was excited to put it to use when it arrived. It did exactly what they said it would do. With its diagnostic feature, I was able to check my car battery voltage and it's starting power. Would have loved to do the alternator output test as well, unfortunately I was a one man team, as you need I person to be at the driver's seat to revv up the car, in order to do this. Was able to charge my battery by 2A input, choose this as fast charging isn't good for the battery; it is longer but better. Gave this 4 stars rating cos notwithstanding I plugged this in to charge at around 1500hrs, at around 2000hrs, it got to 90%. It once got to 100% but that was for a split second and back to 90% again. Wanted to test it's ability, so I decided to leave it over night. Came back at 0535hrs the next morning, the charging was still at 90%. So I just decided to stop the charge and retest my battery again. I was quite impressed that my battery had improved. I would recommend this item to anyone who has a car Read full review

This charger falls into the semi-professional class. It has several alternative charging options which gives it versatility although it does mean reading the instructions carefully to get the most out of it. Having a display that shows charging current and voltage is very useful. The only aspect which is slightly annoying is the constant fan when charging. This does not seem to be thermostatically controlled but it does go off when in maintenance mode and when charging is finished. Its not the most electrically efficient and consumes about 50 watts when charging at 2 amps DC so I wouldn't recommend leaving it plugged in long term if you are worried about energy saving.

Great multi step charger with auto charging/maintanence function. Only lack is that package does not include additional cables to connect directly to battery without clamps. All other things are OK.

I bought this smart charger as I am still having problems with the automatic stop-start system in my car. The newer technology and expensive AGM batteries fitted to micro-hybrid vehicles may be a little problematical. One possible drawback is the 7-8 hour charge cycle for the 8 Amp charger - If you can afford the upgrade to the higher output one, you should be able to perform a full charge cycle in around 5 hours.

It's the second one I bought in 6 months both blew up after being used a couple of times. I connected it up as per instructions & first unit lasted 2 charges before it blew up, second one lasted for charges before it self destructed.
