Review on ⚡️ STANLEY BM1S 1 Amp 12V Battery Charger/Maintainer with Cable Clamps, O-Ring Terminals - Fully Automatic by Darrell Shreves

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Works as advertised but lacks compared to previous version

I bought this unit to replace a similar old Stanley BC209 charger/maintainer which I gave my son as a gift. This newer version works well, although its maximum current rating is lower than the previous model (1.0A vs. 1.5A). I also found that the lights on the new one were less visible than the old ones, particularly the green "fully charged" light. The fact that the new one is significantly smaller also means it runs warmer, which isn't always a good thing. And finally, it's missing a cigarette lighter adapter that I've always used to service the battery in my wife's little-used old car. So I can only give it 3 stars.

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • Some bugs
