Review on ๐Ÿ”Œ MOTOPOWER MP00205B 12V 1000mA Automatic Battery Charger and Maintainer with Timer Protection - Trickle Charger and Battery Desulfator included by Yoganand Stradley

Revainrating 4 out of 5

If you get one that doesn't seem to work.

When you get one of these it doesn't seem to work. The weak point is where the wires connect to the alligator clips. I have other chargers that use a similar plug and clamp, I connected one of these and the Motopower charger worked. So I went back and found a bad wire to clip connection, mine was on a black clip. It looks like they solder the end of the wire and then crimp it into a terminal. This was a problem area as I was able to wiggle and toggle it on/off at that exact spot. The charger itself works perfectly. Easy to fix, I crimped it again with a small pair of pliers and there you go. Given the purchase price, I'm not surprised. This is only a 1 amp charger for small batteries, works with large ones but is slower. Ideal for motorcycles and the like. Not really designed to charge a dead car battery, it can be done but will take a few days. I know it.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • It's ok
