Review on πŸ”‹ AIMTOM 7.2Amp Smart Battery Charger: The Ultimate-Safe 12V Intelligent Maintainer for Car RV SUV Truck Motorcycle Boat Lawn Mower Use by Jerry Eintertainment

Maybe it's good? suitable for chargers

When mine arrived it was no longer in the original packaging and jumped around in the box with my other items. The first thing I noticed was that I didn't have alligator clips. Not that big of a problem as the kit still had fasteners for battery posts. I'm sure the dealer or manufacturer would replace them. At least I hope so. Connected the charging cable and set it to fast charging. It showed 7.1 amps, then 0.1 amps, then FULL. This happened in less than 5 seconds. I unplugged the charger; Adjusted the connections and tried again. The same thing. I checked the battery with two voltmeters, both read within 0.02 volts. I tried two more times before giving up fast charging. Now I've tried slow loading. It started charging at 2.9 amps for about 5 minutes, then 2.1 amps for 5 minutes, then 0.9 amps for 5 minutes, then FULL. The charger feels very hot. I tried two more times with the fan blowing over the charger. The same thing. I don't know if mine was damaged in transit. Almost all the problems others have encountered I have experienced myself. I ended up returning it for something I have more control over. The manual says it can take 19 to 37 hours to charge a 100Ah battery. From what I've seen, 17 hours seems incredibly optimistic.
