Review on πŸ”‹ Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger - D1724 by Eric Wohlman

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Buyer warning! 12 volt DC power supply, no charger!

Not impressed. I don't like the fact that this seller is selling these wall warts as chargers. They should be advertised as a 12V DC power supply as that is all they are. It's just fancy babble to call it a "single stage" charger. loophole. What I don't like about this product is that it only has a 12 volt output. For those of you who don't know how batteries and DC work, I'll keep it simple. You need a higher voltage to power the battery than the battery can handle. When I first got this wall wart I tested it with my multimeter and it showed 12 volts DC. Then I read the label on the transformer case and found that the output voltage was only 12 volts. The seller swears to buy it (of course) but I think they are tricking people into buying it. It is dangerous for anyone to purchase this product as a 12V charger and be unaware of its lack of protection or its ability to properly charge a 12V battery.

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Clarity
