Great So Far

Date:January 6, 2012

"I needed another battery charger what with a Corvette in storage for the winter and constantly hooked up to my older charger that maintains its battery. I have another car not used very often so its battery can discharge without use, and a lawn tractor battery brought in for the winter. I hesitated to get this as there were some negative reviews but it was an instore special for about $63 that had not shown up when looking online. It was now about the price of another one I had gone in to get at regular price but without all the features of this one. This one had a three year warranty, was automatic, and had the desulphate feature and float mode which I wanted so figured I would give it a try. I first tried it out on the ten year old lawn tractor batter and it immediately started to desulphate it which I had expected on this old battery. This went on for about 20 hours with no sign of it starting to charge it until I wiggled the clamps to make better contact and that was enough to start it charging at a small amperage for this smaller battery. In about 12 hours, it read FUL so that was a success with a desulphated and fully charged battery. I moved it on to the battery in the little used car which I knew was fairly well charged already from my old charger the previous week. It started to trickle charge immediately and later it read FUL as well indicating it was now in float mode and ready to come on again if the voltage drops at all. I will leave it connected through the winter when the car is not used. So far so good then!"

Slow to charge

Date:December 9, 2011

"Just got this to charge and maintain 2 deep cycle batteries that i use in a floor scrubbing machine. Batteries are brand new from Canadian tire. This unit takes at least 9 hours to charge these batteries to a full charge on automatic mode. Have not tried manual yet. Seems a little long to me. Also find the unit quite loud when the fan kicks in. i may end up taking it back and spending the 200 on a proper deep cycle charger. Still cheaper than 800 for a new scrubber charger"

On 3rd charger now, always F05 after 24 hours

Date:December 3, 2011

"I have owned this charger for about 2 years, I have returned it 2X already, I have a corvette that I keep in my unheated garage over winter. I purchased this charger specifically because it has maintenance mode. Well the battery is almost new (purchased at the end of the summer) and i've had the charger on the car for about a month (yes, its completely disconnected from the car) and it always goes to F05 after 24 hours. I have tried about 4 difference batteries over the last 2 years, and have never seen it once go into maint. mode. I don't suggest this charger if you are looking for something to keep your battery consistently charged over the winter. The manual suggests that I have a defective battery, but I don't believe that. If you have actually seen this charger go into maintenace mode, please send me a picture. I would like to see it with my own eyes.

I appears to be decent as a trickle charger. but thats it. I will probably try returning it next year, and hopefully they have upgraded it before my 3 year warranty expires."

Not quite "Intelligent"

Date:November 19, 2011

"I had bought this charger specially to charge and maintain powersport AGM batteries: It was advertised as AGM/Gel compatible with maintenance and desulfatation modes. Sadly, it seems some flaw in the charge logic is keeping it from doing it's job properly, making it unable to stay in maintenance mode for longer than a day (read the Q&A section for many questions about this "F05" error), meaning it's utterly useless if I want it to maintain my motorcycle battery during winter storage.

I'll be keeping it around anyway as it still works fine for bulk charging larger batteries, but if you're looking for a dedicated float charger for powersport (or deep cycle) batteries, look for something that's built for the task. I've just given up and ordered a Yuasa 5 stage charger to properly handle this task."

Great Charger - Does it All

Date:September 10, 2011

"When this item came on sale as one of the Grand Opening offerings at our new store, I got it right away.

I use it to charge my Deep Cycle battery that I use for my Minn Kota fishing motor. The charger couldn't work better and I am very happy."

Not smart enough !

Date:August 8, 2011

"Got one of these for my Nautilus (Can. Tire purchase) deep cycle 12v. Would NOT charge it without showing battery as defective. Totally useless to me. Battery is new, and charges fine with old dumb "automatic" analog charger."

Not for deep cycle batteries

Date:July 26, 2011

"Seems ok for car batteries but will not recharge large deep cycle batteries. I thought that my brand new (Demone) deep cycle battery was defective because the charger said it was defective after 24 hours at 90%. The battery went back to the manufacturer and they said that the battery only needed to be charged. They sent the battery back and the charger still balks at 90%. I am not the only one who has had this problem."

Decent smart charger

Date:July 17, 2011

"I purchased this unit while on sale for the sales price of $49.99, it was worth the purchase. It does a fair job of charging batteries without the fear of overcharging.

On the downside, the desulfation mode is automatic and there is no way to have it run on command. In my opinion, the automatic mode does not work well. I had a car battery hold a decent voltage but fail during load test due to sulfated plates. I needed to buy a separate desulfator to bring the battery back to accept a healthy charge. Its a shame as the technology is included in this charger, it just does not work well due to the automatic sensor causing the mode to shut off prematurely."

Battery Restoration /Desulfation

Date:February 25, 2011

"I bought this about a week ago and so far have restored three 12V batteries. The first was my lawn tractor battery which died in the cold weather , and would not restart after boosting and a 30 minute tractor run . This was completely restored after about 17 hours on the charger 's automatic setting . The initial displays were a bit misleading but I just ignored them and kept it on the charger ,it took a few hours for the green light to start blinking, but then it blinked all night and into the next morning . When it stopped the display read 90 % charge . It works.

The second was a Honda car battery that died on my daughter's car . She bought a new one but I
kept the old one just for fun. It went into the desulfation mode shortly after hooking it up , and then switched to charging mode . After 12 hours it was fully charged. Reading FUL .

The third one was an older mower battery (Energizer ) that died about 4 winters ago , and was sitting outside ever since . I did not hold much hope for this one , but on my newly purchased voltmeter it read 6.2 V . The display read 8-8-8-'s which means the battery charger will not accept it. With separate cables I hooked this battery to the newly charged Honda battery . Then rehooked the charger . This fooled the charger into thinking it was hooked to a good battery , and sure enough it was fully charged after 17 hours .

I tried a fourth VERY old battery that had almost zero volts left . I used the same method as above but it only got up to 10 volts and stopped. No surprise here.

So I restored 3 batteries worth over $200 to buy new . I paid $35 ( reg $89) for the charger, $17(reg$59) for the multimeter , not a bad deal .

PS as I write this battery #4 has started recharging again... there is still hope !!"

How long will my Battery take to get out of reconditioning mode?

Victor86

- Hamilton,on

1 month, 2 weeks ago

Answer:

My old ten year old lawn tractor battery was in reconditioning mode for close to 24 hours with no sign of it starting to charge until I wiggled the clamps to ensure good contact. That made it suddenly switch over to charging it at a low rate until it read FUL about 12 hours later. I then unplugged everything to reset the charger and out of curiosity hooked it back up again to the lawn tractor battery. It immediately read FUL as it should have. I suggest that If after 24 hours of reconditioning with no change, try unhooking everything to reset the charger and try again.

Answer:

It depends on your battery condition, if first attempt is unsuccessful, it will make up to 4 times attempt, each time recondotion takes 4-5 hours. If after 20 hours, the charger still can not activate your battery to accept charging, you need to change your battery.

Charger will charge and enter maintenance mode, but is unable to continue, ultimately fails to F05, battery is NOT suspect.

Question:

Will run Maintenance mode at 13.6v/solid status LED for only a few hours, cycles to FUL and back to maintenance a few times for a day then fail to F05. The battery is a *very fresh* Yuasa YTZ7S VRLA.

Answer:

Some of the early models have this defect in the charging logic. You should return your unit for a replacement.

Answer:

I am in the same boat. I don't believe it does what it says. I have been trying this charger for 2 years to get going, and have replaced it twice already. I just want to be able to put the charger on my corvette battery and leave it until the spring. Unfortunately, everytime I go out to the garage its on F05. Its not our batteries.. its the unit itself. I don't believe it will go for more than 24h without faulting.

Why does capacity % differ on Charge Rate?

Question:

Sat on Optimal for very long time and stayed at Lo. Changed to 8A. 60 to 90% rapidly. Same for 12A. On Optimal or 2A always Lo.Which is right, and why does the capacity % differ? Hope sitting on Optimal and Lo for so long hasn't fried anything.

shamski

Answer:

"LO" means the battery voltage is very low,please check the charging current, if there is current input, it is charging your battery, when the battery goes up to 13.5V, "LO" will disappear. If you set to 8A or 12A, the capacity shows 60-90%, that is because your battery AH is small, it can not take so big charging current, so the % will go up sharply, but it is not the actual battery volatge, it is false voltage. There is nothing wrong, just choose Optimal or 2A charging rate and check the current to make sure it is charging. No problem.

Can I permanently install this charger in a RV? Can I use the battery while its being charged?

Anonymous

8 months ago

Answer:

Considering it's a bench top charger, it's probably not designed to handle extreme heat, damp conditions, etc. I guess it depends on where you're planning to mount it.

As for your second question, probably not unless your draw was rather small. Otherwise the charger would likely have a hard time keeping up and shut down at some point from over heat protection or automatice time limiter.

Hooked up to a yr old lawn trator battery, display reads scrolling 8's, what is the problem

Anonymous

Answer:

Too little voltage in battery, causing the error.

mafiebig

Answer:

Scrolling 8's means the charger isn't "sensing" its connected to a battery. Make sure the battery posts are clean and the charger clamps are well connected (try rocking them back and forth).

If this doesn't do anything, then your battery has less about 3.0V (so the charger won't turn on). At battery this low is cooked (sulphated). Time for a new one... and don't forget to keep it charged during the off season!
