UPG D1730 Sealed Lead Acid Charger (12V Dual-Stage with Screw Terminals)

• 500 mAh
• 14.6V fast charge

This charger works quite well for smaller applications, but it simply doesn't have the amps needed to effectively charge my 8ah sealed lead acid battery. It takes over 16hrs to fully charge my battery, but i knew this ahead of time. This charger does get warm during operation which is surprising given the miniscule current draw. The "charged/Charging" light is nice, but doesn't have any indication as to the voltage nor the charging current. The charging red light will slowly fade to off hours before the charged light comes on. (keeping in mind it takes 16hrs to charge my 8amp/hr battery)

This charger is wonderful when used properly, but didn't fit my needs.

I recommend this product, but it could have improvements.

It gets very hot when used, but it does seem to work. It is slow on larger batteries, and it looks as though it overheats after a while (not sure about that, so I'll keep the review at 4 stars).

What can I say? I bought a sealed lead acid battery and a 5 volt USB converter so I could use my iPhone gadgets while kayaking in the wilderness. This charger, uh, charges the battery like it's supposed to. It's handy to have the red/green LED's so I know when the battery is fully charged.

Who knows, if I had received a unit that worked I may have like it. But I didn't, so I don't.
