I bought this charger online to replace my 40 year old charger that finally quit working. I wanted to keep it simple so I ordered a manual charger with minimal electronics -like my last oneso perhaps it too would also last 40 years.

The charger puts out the right voltage and the 12 volt leads are color coded correctly (as per my muli-meter), but the built in ammeter is either defective or wired in wrong. The bigger the load the more the needle pulls off to the left of "0" amps. This makes the charger totally useless for battery diagnoses. I am disappointed.

I took it upon myself (a day later) to take the charger apart and reverse the leads going to the ammeter. And now the ammeter works. I now give the charger a rating of 4 stars.
