Review on LIFEPO4 Charger 12V/15A 24V/10A PB(AGM/Gel/Lead) Car Battery Charger - Fully Automatic Smart Charger with LCD Display and Pulse Repair - Ideal Trickle Charger and Battery Maintainer by Shane Schobinger

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Plain and without frills. Charges slowly but does not drain the battery.

Many of today's chargers are cheap junk that will boil your battery once or twice and then stop working. (Schumacher, anyone?). You shouldn't pay that much for a basic charger that doesn't, but that's exactly where we are today. In any case, wearing kid gloves, this charger charges the battery very slowly. I wanted to make sure some of the batteries I used for the homemade solar generator were fully charged before connecting them in series, so I charged them individually with this charger. To charge a 12 volt, 1200 watt hour, 100 amp hour battery, this charger took about 8 hours. Charging is slow, but at least it's easy on the battery. No batteries were dead. Charging stopped automatically once the battery was fully charged. It has a useful and informative interface.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Crumpled
