Excellent product, the best quality.

I bought this charger just like that, but then I started using it on a boat, as a shore power supply. The biggest plus is that it can not be disconnected from the battery at all, after charging stops, it turns off and the reverse current is generally microscopic, and when plugged into a power outlet, it immediately starts charging. I connected it to the boat and made an analogue of "shore power", arrived, moored it, plugged it into the outlet and the battery is always charged, you can use the…

Pros
  • Compact size, moisture protection, correct operation, automatic switching on, minimum (2 mA, or something, I forgot the exact figure, but scanty) reverse current.
Cons
  • Perhaps only the lack of ears for stationary mounting on self-tapping screws.

I'm satisfied, it's a good purchase.

I have experience in operating various chargers. The last purchase - Bosch C3, I bought on black Friday, with a discount of 500 and 1000 paid with bonuses, a total of 2200 came out. This is an adequate price for it, in comparison with domestic crafts such as "Vympel", "Pendant", etc. with terrible quality plastic, wires, crocodiles, lack of ergonomics, incomprehensible reliability at a higher price.

Pros
  • Easy to use, compact. Good quality plastic, wires, crocodiles. Sufficient length of reins. Assembly. Mode selection button. Possibility to fix on the wall, shelf.
Cons
  • There is not enough display with a digital indication of charging parameters, there is no soft case for transportation, the hook is only suitable for hanging from the hood loop. Production China. Does not want to charge deeply discharged batteries, like all machines. They say it's unsuitable.

The best price for such a product, I will buy more!

Bought to charge an AGM battery. A conventional charger with a rheostat is dangerous for him. The device is very compact, mounted on the included hook directly under the hood. After connecting, it automatically detects the type of battery 6/12 V. It remains to choose only the charging method. I left it for the night on charge, in the morning I returned to the charged battery, while the charger, upon completion of the process, maintains the battery in the required state.

Pros
  • Compact device with automatic battery type detection. I bribed the opportunity to leave unattended at work and return after a while to a fully charged battery. Ability to charge AGM batteries.
Cons
  • Didn't find it.

It's impossible to use it, don't waste your money.

So I bought the first one in the year 2022, probably . it served me for a park of years and then stopped working. I plug it in, the blue light comes on and that's it. Doesn't respond to button presses. I bought a second one . a couple of years later the same thing .

Pros
  • Looks good
Cons
  • There were two and both died under mysterious circumstances.

I did not regret the purchase, everything is fine.

battery for 4 years, with this insulation I began to drive less and the car got up after 3-4 days due to a 5-year battery. I decided not to change the battery yet, I bought this device. I charged the battery for 20 hours, now it’s calm for a week or two (I haven’t tried it yet). Battery works like new.

The perfect product for any user!

Well, I was very pleased with the price of 3,000 during Black Friday, for such money this is the best device, there are no analogues, I think. Super for an ordinary man in the street

Pros
  • Good charging, maintenance is not needed, very convenient, there is a memory mode, if the light is turned off, then as soon as it appears, charging will charge the battery again in the mode in which it charged before, nothing will go wrong
Cons
  • No

Disgusting, will never recomend it for anybody!

Used in the garage for preventive recharging in cold weather in case of short trips. It charged something, but when winter came, a standard 70Ah battery on a 3.5-year-old car could not start the engine after a week of inactivity (I was on a business trip). This discharge is deeper than 50%, connected the charging, returned after 6 hours - it is lit green, everything is fine! But even with its maximum 3.8A charging physically could not fill the battery! Obviously he's lying, but okay . It…

Pros
  • A convenient hook for hanging on the hood loop, a set of cables that can be connected to hard-to-reach terminals and connect charging to its own connector.
Cons
  • Absolutely useless device, imitation of functionality. Stops charging too early, refuses to work when the voltage drops below 10.1 V.

The purchase brought only positive emotions.

I've been using it for 8 years, maybe even 9. I left it turned on for 2-3 weeks in the garage - everything is good. In winter, I turn on the winter mode (the latest), it also works with a minus. Long battery charging is not useful, optimally - 2 days.

I have been using it constantly for many years. Until the device failed. There were AGMs, there were simple batteries. There were no difficulties. Read the instructions - in winter, in cold weather, we set the usual battery to AGM mode. I did not measure the current, only the voltage - the device itself does everything according to science. My advice to you is to change the battery more often. There are, for example, standard Hong Kong factory for sale, they are much cheaper, and the…

Pros
  • For these were: 1. Reliability - in work often and for many years. 2. Connected and forgot, he will do everything for you - leave it at least for a week. 3. Sturdy exterior design, well made. 4. Proven brand - Bosch. 5. The wife does not understand this, but after a simple instruction, she also calmly uses it, tk. everything is simple and safe. WIRES SOFT even in winter.
Cons
  • The nuts on the terminals are constantly untwisted - you need to tighten it harder and that's it. Sometimes a plastic hook flies off - tolerably.

Compact and lightweight device! Long wires included, good quality wires, solid with a good section, crocodiles are attached to the bolts, they also have a fuse on the positive wire. The device is fully automatic, you can’t adjust anything manually, there are 4 charging modes and we use them! I chose this device because the car has a maintenance-free, calcium battery. He can’t boil, and with a manual charger, I already screwed up one battery. Why chose this one? due to the fact that there is a…

Pros
  • Compactness, build quality, full autonomy when charging the battery!
Cons
  • not revealed yet!

I was satisfied with the purchase, it has been in use for more than a year, it causes only positive emotions. The Germans have thought of everything to the smallest detail, they have experience in using domestic ones, just heaven and earth, and the fact that it cannot be regulated does not soar at all, there is no need to discharge the batteries to zero. The power cable is thick, flexible enough, well insulated. The cross section of the power wires to the crocodiles is also done perfectly, the…

Pros
  • Lightweight, compact, suitable for various types of batteries, thick wires.
Cons
  • A plastic case would be much better than a box assembled in China, I would like it in Germany.

I like everything, the price and quality are acceptable.

It so happened that the battery in the car sat down to zero. The charger did not see it, the 6V indicator, the button, was on. MODE did not respond to pressing, the modes did not change. In the vastness of Runet, I found information that it is possible to start only through another battery. I went off the motorcycle, connected two batteries plus to plus, minutes to minus, and put on the charger terminals. The charging process has started. After 5-10 minutes, I disconnected everything and…

Pros
  • Easy to handle, even the most handyman can handle it.
Cons
  • 1. Does not see the battery completely discharged. 2. Can't charge LiFePo4 3. Very long battery life.

A wonderful product, it's nice to use.

Got pros: Copes with charging, does not make noise, does not heat up. Made neatly, high quality, all the necessary wires included. Has cons: Not very functional management. But for such a device, I did not count on it.

Not at all what I expected.Terrible!

So, an HONEST review in hot pursuit. We have - a battery that has gone to zero, an electrician in a car does not give traces of life, when you try to start it from a booster, it stalls as soon as the booster stops giving current. We remove, we drag home, we connect the memory. The "Mode" button (the only button) is lit in blue (standby mode), does not respond to pressing. We read the instructions - we see that at a voltage of less than 6V, the memory will not wake up. Magically. Fortunately…

Pros
  • Compact, waterproof, large comfortable crocodiles
Cons
  • - Does not charge a discharged battery (see instructions - "when the supply voltage is less than 6V, it goes into standby mode") - Too smart - you have to dance with a tambourine to make it work - As a result - the memory is intended for a "under-discharged" battery - the lights are on, but there is not enough power. It is not clear why it is needed then - boosters do an excellent job with such a situation.
