i was looking for a car starter, that had it's own battery, i could use on dead batteries. unfortunately, none of the ones i looked at would also charge a battery, which i also wanted. so, i decided just to get a charger, and found this one, with a 'start engine' option!!! well, i had a dead dead battery. i hooked it up, and went thru the 90 second super charge function rather then the normal charge function. the car almost started. manuals says the unit needs 5 minutes to cool down after a super charge(it actually shows the timer during the cool down), then to do the 90 sec super charge again. i waited the 5 min, did the super charge again, and the car started.

i am very pleased. the cord management features are a bonus.

Fair warning, I know less than squat about car batteries and chargers. I left the hatch open on my car for several days and I guess the light being on drained the battery. So I went down to the auto parts store and picked this out by the innie-minnie method. Basically, I liked that it was not as huge like the other models and it said it would jump start as well as charge (also tests alternator). Looked good to me.

Back in the garage, I had time so rather than jump start, I selected charge and everything seemed to go according to plan. The charger has a meter and it showed that battery was partially drained (needle did not reach into green zone but was not in red either). That makes sense since I had enough juice to turn the lights on but not enough to turn over the engine. After plugging it in, the display on the charger said "charging" and so I went away, came back some hours later, and it was done. Disconnected the charger and turned the key and the engine turned over like a jet. So based on that, I conclude that charger worked exactly as advertised. Hope that helps.

I use this while camping to recharge the 27 series deep cycle marine battery I run on at night with an inverter. The 25 amp output will recharge the battery from 10.6 volts to a full charge in 2 hours. I tried other smart charges with my little 800 watt generator but they refuse to operate correctly because the electric from the generator isn't clean enough for their liking. This one has no problem with that at all.

It's small and lightweight and stores well with the cord wraps on the sides. The display is backlit and easy to see at night while it displays the charging status and voltage as it chargers. The auto shut off function is a nice feature as well, no need to keep an eye on it so it doesn't overcharge the battery. I haven't had the need for the boost function as yet so I can't comment on that part but glad it's there in case I ever need it. Going to purchase a second one to charge my trolling motor batteries while charging the camping trailer battery.
