1 year charger test

I am very satisfied and recommend this charger to everyone. I bought this charger about 1 year ago and was still waiting to leave a review because I didn't want to mislead anyone. I can safely say that this is one of the best products on the market. ADVANTAGES: Accurate power display Versatile charging settings Compact design for easy storage and movement Large, narrow cables for charging cables and plugs High-performance dual fans and heat-dissipating fins on the case CONS: The battery's jaws may be too large for some applications. It's a bit difficult to understand the logic of autoloading. No help turning. All it took was one faulty charger during programming and I ended up spending 3-4 hours fixing a job that paid 0.6 hours. Then I decided that this was enough and I had to buy my own powerful charger. I wanted something compact that would fit in my tool box for safety and that nobody would use when I'm not around. I also needed something with flash program functions to keep the voltage stable. This charger meets all my needs and more. I'm not sure who the real manufacturer of this charger is, but I've seen it rebranded to OTC and other auto tool brands. It also uses a very similar charging function interface to the Snapon EEBC500, which is what led me to this charger. However, the main benefit of this charger is the flash programming mode, which allows the user to set the voltage from 13.0V and above, and the charger will automatically adjust the current to meet the needs of 0 to 70 amps. The large fans keep the device cool and extend its lifespan, and the slim cabling feels very solid and will stand the test of time. Sometimes the sponges don't fit on the battery itself and can only be used on the jump starter terminals so this can be a problem depending on the car but not for me as I work almost all cars of this brand for jump starter terminals. Jaws can be changed anyway. One weird thing is the auto load feature which I sometimes don't understand. I'm not sure if it's using the battery's internal resistance or targeting 12.6 volts 15.0 volts or what's wrong, but I'm sure it won't overcharge the battery or "boil" the battery if it does some hours is left alone. Overall I am very happy with this purchase, it is a tool that I consider reliable and will last for a long time since I use it almost every day. Many technicians in the shop I work at ask where I got the charger from as they can tell by the design and function that it is a quality product. Revain has the cheapest price I've found and the purchase was seamless.

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • Almost everything ok
