CAT Professional Intelligent Battery Charger, 25A

I bought one at Canadain Tire a few years ago. It is supposed to have engine start, well it doesn't work, it says the battery is full when the battery is weak. It won't rapid charge either, says the battery is full when the truck won't start. I worked right once when I first bought it, after that it fails every time. I had to borrow the neighbour's simple old 1960's charger which charged my battery up and got me going within an hour. How come this fancy new thing can't work? It's designed to fail so you have to buy another.

Piece of junk lasted 2 charges before it started malfunctioning saying every dead battery you hooked it to was charged! Fancy brand name! Joke. Buy something simpler. Intelligent is garbage. Wasted a lot of money for my parents as a gift.

This charger didn't last more than 20 charges before it started to malfunction. Stay as far away as possible from this thing. For a "smart" charger, it was pretty dumb. It would often read internal shorted cell, no battery connected, battery full, all on batteries that I knew were only about 50% depleted. It was very satisfying to toss this charger into the garbage! Save yourself the money and don't even consider this unit.

First time trying to use this and all I get is a blue screen. Finally figured out that it doesn't work in cold weather! So I bring it in the house and warm it up and take it outside and it works. Great if you need a summer battery charger or if you live in Bermuda! They should have tried it out on their ice truck!

Totally Useless Junk! Will NOT charge batteries with low voltages, which is why your battery is dead in the first place. It starts off and pretends it's charging with it's fancy blue readout then defaults to "bad cell" and totally shuts off, no standby mode no alarms, it just shuts off, so you don't even know it's turned itself off, then you have to reset the charger by removing the power for a second attempt which is the same as the fist, NOTHING! Even trying the 24hr battery rejuvenator setting does nothing... The way this is set up is that it impresses you by finding a bad cell and you go wow!.. Well I guess it's time for a new battery, eh?.. But you get curious and throw it on another battery, the same thing "bad cell" and won't charge, Ok, let's put it on my mobility scooter without any battery problems, same thing "bad cell" and then no charge, then after the 4th battery you figure out that, well it's a Canadian tire charger that sells new Canadian tire batteries indirectly for them as any battery you put this on has a "bad cell" default and wont charge!... When I bought mine on Monday there were 4 on the self 3 were opened returns, and now there will be 4 when I bring this one back. By using this charger you need 2 battery chargers, one to charge the battery and this one to hold the garage door open so that the cable of the first one doesn't get pinched under the door.
