When my husband and I got a divorce, I started shopping for things he took with him so I could sustain rural life alone. This was high on my list because there is nothing more frustrating that getting stranded at home because of a dead battery. I have used it only once so far to start my riding lawnmower, and it worked like a charm! I’m more independent because of this great device, and I recommend it to other ladies out there who don’t want to have to call a man to come rescue them when they can’t get a vehicle started!

It is the cheaper version of what is out there so if you try to start a dead truck at 5 degrees F it presents a challenge and you do like challenges ? your in the right category and you saved some money to boot !! And oh yes its a lot cheaper then calling the tow truck so here you have it.

It is good to have charger like this in winter; starter boost is a big help. Since I assume that things I buy suppose to do the job they should, I will point out things I don’t like about this charger. This charger should have Voltmeter. Amp meter can not be trusted. In maintenance mode (that should deliver up to 2 amps) meter was showing over 10A. I checked the real current flow with precision meter and it was only 1A; what good is the measuring instrument being so much of that one can’t rely on? I used start boost on battery that was virtually dead; after couple of minute quick charge I tried to start the engine using the boost and had impression that this thing does not deliver promised 200A. Another couple of minute charge, I tried to start again. Third time was the charm. Yet, without this type charger I would have no options – the car was parked in the way that I couldn’t use jump cable.
So, general impression is that this charger is made cheap but, bottom line, it can do the job.

Great product, easily capable of charging dead batteries in a short period of time. I found it easy to use, easy to move around, and entirely suitable for my needs. The dual battery system in my farm truck, which was totally dead, was fully recharged in under 2 1/2 hours.
If there is one negative, it is in the quality of the assembly instructions for attaching the axle. One step, attaching the clips that hold the axle, was totally missing. While it was easy to see what those parts were and where and how to attach them to the bottom of the charger, the omission makes a person who is reading the instructions to the person doing the actually assembly work look rather silly.
I’m a 65 year old woman and highly recommend this charger to any woman who needs a good automotive battery charger because it is so easy to use, is light weight (35 lbs) and easy to move around, and because it’s small foot print makes it easy to store.
