Review: Fantastic Battery Charger - This is one fine battery charger. It has brought two old batteries which I thought were ready to be thrown away back to life, which has saved me over £300 in my solar power DIY project. The unit is fairly compact and very light. The functions are extremely useful, especially the CCA and battery life tester modes. The backlit display is very easy to read and although there are many functions on the device, after 5 minutes of pressing buttons, it was very simple to operate. The instructions manual does the job okay but it could be a little better at explaining how to access some of the functions. The trickle charge and smart charge functions are great at charging and keeping the battery topped up without having to worry about over charging. It charged an 80Ah 720A battery from my old Porsche 911 with almost no charge to 100% charge over night. The battery was so badly discharged that it would not register on a couple of cheaper chargers that I tried before. Overall, a very good investment and despite it's more expensive cost, I definitely recommend it. One word of warning though, the unit has a fan that kicks in when pushing AMPs into the battery. It might irritate some partners if you leave the unit to charge a battery in your kitchen over night! ;-)
Review: Smart battery charger - This is a very useful piece of kit. I leave my battery on trickle charge in the garage when car not in use. It charges to 100% and then cuts out so Ieave it on charge when we go away and using my wife’s car. I only do less than 3000 miles a year in my car so need a reliable charger. This is my second charger. Make sure you keep the receipt and register the charger with the manufacturer. It’s guaranteed for 5 years.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I can’t select the battery menu, only the test part. Run test but when I try to charge the unit goes dead.**
A: I have the same problem.  Was charging the car on the maintenance charge and overnight the garage 16A breaker tripped in house fuse board.  5A fuse in plug fine - perhaps it isn't a 5A fuse??  Now the unit tests only.  Is there another fuse inside the unit??

**Q: would this charge a 175ah leisure battery and how long would it take???            thanks**
A: The literature says it will cope with up to 300 Amp hr batteries but personally I have only used it on batteries up to 90 Amp hrs. The max rate of charge is only 8 amps so if you have discharged a 175 amp hour battery to 50%  (you shouldn't go lower) you need to put 80 to 90 amp hours back in. On the face of it that would take 10 to 11 hours but in practice as the battery becomes more charged the charge rate will drop to more like 2 amps and the final few amps will only go in at 0.8 amps so a completely full charge will take well over 24 hours.

**Q: Will it charge a lithium battery**
A: For car batteries stop/start etc.Lithium chargers are a lot cheaper I think.
Whatever you decide,give this a miss I used mine 3 times,it failed,just over a year old and told to return for repair at my expense.
No offer of replacement,poor customer service.
If this type of charger is what you need,check out a Maypole one (on amazon).
Regards

**Q: Can charger stay connected to car battery while i perform sat nav update which takes 3.5h?**
A: Just wanted to ask, did you use this for updating the maps and was it ok to do so?

*by P***N on 26 May 2015*

I have not had a battery charger for years however my sons two year old battery discharged because his car had stood unused for several weeks so I thought I would help by purchasing one,I picked this charger as it had a good product name and it was a smart charger I use my car only now and again so there is a risk my battery may discharge and as this charger is designed for stop start batteries it was a go for me,I am an engineer by profession so know a bit about engines and batteries so I went for the 12amp version as to kick start a discharged battery the ampere output is important,I put discharged battery on smart charge and left it for 24 hours with the result of only 60% so I used the full output of 12 amps and left it again for 24 hours this time the charger achieved a full charge,this charger has the added ability of a clear LCD display so you can test battery in many ways as well as a alternator test its a very high spec unit all round,I is not the cheapest however my experience with this unit is very good and I recommend it highly.
