Much Better Than Expected

When I read that this device could be used to charge a car battery I was skeptical - it was easy to install - and it did indeed charge a car battery using a solar panel and it worked without an extension cord need to use, amazing product

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Works as it should in diagnostic, test and measurement tools

Works as expected. Typical gentle battery quality. A bit expensive but easy to use. I have this on a 2019 diesel Chevy Cruz, the battery is behind a panel in the trunk and the cigarette lighter is not always on. Just make sure the battery you are using is less than 3 amps. I use a battery tender junior.

Pros
  • Robust design
Cons
  • Problems

Works great.: Diagnostic, test and measurement tools

I use it with a 10w solar charger to keep the battery charged on my 2002 BMW M3 Convertible which is on the road most of the time. Winter. I leave the charger in the car on the dash and use the connector to connect it to the OBD port. Works perfectly. The battery stays over 12 volts when I check it.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • boring packaging

Perfect combination: battery tester

I bought this unit to use with a temperature compensated Battery Minder charger. They only have clamp connections. This allowed me to connect the charger to the OBD socket without opening the hood. When I get in the car, it's very easy to unplug and drive. The polarity of this plug is exactly the same.

Pros
  • glitter
Cons
  • ill thought out

Good for SAE connections

Bought to make a 12 volt battery for my car if I ever need to remove the battery and not lose settings like radio presets, clock etc. Connect my alternative 12v battery to this adapter. into the OBD II connector (make sure the polarity is correct before proceeding) and proceed to remove the car battery for replacement or repair without fear of losing your car's settings . I know that on some cars like Subaru you have to go through the idle relearn process for you to save that too.

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • confusing
