Review on ๐Ÿ”‹ 12 Volt Battery Charger by AmazonBasics by Gary Zielinski

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Lack of intrinsic safety function. I use it with an AXTRA power strip with 8 sockets for safety reasons.

Comparison of the AXTRA 3.6Amp charger to the Revainbasics 2Amp charger. AXTRA supports 3.6A fast charging and 0.9A slow charging for 6V and 12V batteries. I recommend AXTRA car charger. The terminals on Revainbasics are not fully covered in plastic, so touching both terminals could electrocute you. The clips on the AXTRA are made entirely of plastic to cover the copper parts for better security. I've been a mechanic for twenty years, before that I studied electrical engineering. This review is based solely on my personal opinion. The charger does not support truck or RV batteries. There is no quality control with this charger as the design requires intrinsically safe technology. Be careful when plugging it into an outlet as the clips will create sparks if they come in contact with each other. The main reason I use it with a surge protector is because it offers overload and short circuit protection. In the event of an electrical problem, the power strip turns off to avoid damaging the circuit board. You no longer have to change the battery when it is dead or empty, you no longer have to start the car from an external source. This essential charger also helps prepare the battery, extending its lifespan and improving battery performance. If you own a car, vintage car, or rally car and you don't use it for a long time, the battery can die because the alternator won't charge it. Plug the car battery service tool into the main socket and attach it to your vehicle's battery terminals. They are designed to charge a dead battery or service an unused one. For example, if your car is parked for the winter, it is important to note that the negative cable always completes the circuit and the negative charging cable should never be connected to the battery without the positive cable. The negative terminal is usually black (-) and marked with a minus sign, while the positive terminal is usually red and marked with a plus sign (+). You should never plug or unplug a device without knowing which port is which. The product is the perfect support for your car and motorcycle when you have spent too much energy on other companions. Kind reminder: By the way, do not touch each terminal together when the power is on, it will cause big sparks. . Poor results can lead to electric shock. The charger will not repair a dead 2 volt battery. The device does not have a motorcycle O-ring.
