So almost a year ago I ordered one of these from another seller and it didn't work. Did you think they were probably fake or just didn't work very well, or was it noticeable at all? Well I never stopped thinking about how badly I wanted my 16 (1S2P) golf car battery array to be balanced because the voltages were everywhere even after several balancing cycles. Then I saw one of them again and decided to just try again. Spring. It works amazingly well! I have 2 hooked up now after digging through the innards of the old faulty one and fixing it now that I know when they work they WORK! If, on the other hand, you happen to be near the battery, you will hear a loud, shrill "spool whistling". Enough to make some people hate her. I, for one, would rather my multi-thousand dollar battery bank get the treatment it deserves for faithfully serving me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week with harvested solar energy. Will definitely get more of these!
