Review on πŸ”Œ DEWALT DCB119 Car Battery Charger: Ultimate 12V/20V MAX Power Solution by Jessie Vrbensky

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Do not use for intended purpose

Plug is too big to fit into outlet. The plug has been replaced with a Sparkin 12V power supply with LED indicator. Didn't work when plugged into the truck's 12v outlet. Two (2) blinking lights indicate a problem with the power cord. After starting the engine with a 14V generator, it began to charge. Turning off the engine allowed the car's battery to continue charging. Connected to solar panel with 12V deep cycle battery Cloud has disrupted charging. The charger changes power 3 times per minute. The sun came out and charging started at 13 volts. Because of the clouds, the voltage dropped to 11.5 volts, but the battery continued to charge. Total charge time 2 hours 10 minutes for a 5Ah battery. The multi-page/linguistic manual is awful with warnings/cautions but absolutely NO instructions on how to do it. Really good charger. Dewalt Websight claims it is no longer in production. Used by China Terrifs.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Crumpled packaging
