Review on πŸ”‹ Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger - D1724 by Curtis Richardson

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Will the electrics and battery work

I bought this to charge the battery I have for my FIOS setup. This extends the life of my FIOS battery. In March 2018 I bought an ExpertPower 12V battery pack to replace my old one which had died. I also bought this charger. In April 2019, a FIOS box in the garage was making an annoying chirp, which by the way is driving one of my dogs crazy. So I pulled out the battery and pushed the button to silence the chirping. I connected the battery to the charger and let it charge for 24 hours. That was about 2 weeks ago. The garage is calm, the dog is calm, the wife is happy. This is the first charger I have ever used. I'll update the review when FIOS starts tweeting nearby to let you know how long the charge lasted and how effective the second charge is. I paid $19.99 for the battery and $8.86 for the charger, so I'm about $10 ahead so far. UPDATE: In October 2019 the beep appeared again. So I got about 6 months without charging. I took out the battery and let it recharge for about 24 hours. Reinstall the battery. No sound signal. SECOND UPDATE: The second charge only lasted two months. I put the battery on the charger overnight and put it back in the FIOS box and everything works fine, but I think it's time to replace the battery. My conclusion is that I spent less than $9 to add about a year to my battery life. The fact that the charge did not last longer could be due to the battery or the charger. Anyway, I feel like the fee is worth it and that's why I bought it.

Pros
  • Quality construction
Cons
