Great Charger that I Recommend!

I have had this charger for two years and it is my go to charger all the time. I do repairs on ATV's and SXS's. Almost every vehicle that comes in has battery problems. Recreation vehicles are used and then put away and then most of the time not touched until it's time to use them again. This charger has brought many of these batteries back to life that normally would need to be replaced. The recondition function does take quite a bit of time , but is well worth the results. The only down side…

Pros
  • I like that it works well and I was able to change my battery with no problems
Cons
  • Not suitable for high amperage charging needs

Small in Size, But a Perfect Charger for My Motorhome.

I needed a small battery charger for my motorhome, so I purchased the Tower Top Battery Charger. Because of an electrical issue on my motorhome, my starter battery was completely drained. I connected the Tower Top charger to the battery, and it diagnosed the battery and then began to restore the battery through several steps including diagnosis first and then two or three charging scenarios. The battery is fully charged like it was new.

Pros
  • Easy to use with large choice. However could not successfully start with unit.
Cons
  • wires to stiff going to clamps.

Not exactly as advertised

It seems well-built and does a good job, but it is not a maintainer. If you just need to charge a battery it works excellent, but if you need it to maintain/float, it will NOT perform that task.Have to lower to one star; I bought it for a maintainer.

Pros
  • Tools & Equipment
Cons
  • May be incompatible with some chargers

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great quality for my opinion

Shipped immediately and arrived early. The cables and cord are heavy duty and yet the charger itself is small and very light weight. Very handy. The clamps are strong. Plug in the charger and the display screen says "put on the clamps" and that's all you need to do. The battery starts charging. The display screen gives all pertinent information while the battery is charging. Adjustable if you choose.

Pros
  • LCD Screen Display
Cons
  • May damage a vehicle's electronic systems if connected incorrectly

I'd buy it again for sure

I'm a pretty hands on, build my own stuff including classic cars, frame off work. I have several cars, so, I tend to use car stuff way more than the next guy.This charger is fantastic for what it is, charges well, and is very light weight. The repair mode is awesome! I never thought it'd work, but I'll be damned, it does work and well! I always keep a couple dead batteries around for cores when I pick up a new one. I decided to try it on the oldest dead battery I had. The battery read 3.5v…

Pros
  • Works great
Cons
  • Not suitable for heavy-duty applications

Excellent Charger - 5 stars if it had more weight

It seems the developers of battery chargers believe that lighht weight is good.The contrary is the case. These charges should be heavy so these device sit perfectly still on the engine block of a car as an example.Only reason why I did not give 5 stars is the weight. It kind of bounces due to the cables connected. I wish it had more weight to stand still on my car's engine when I charge the battery.But great features, easy to use, sturdy and long enough cables, both ways.

Pros
  • Worked as advertised!
Cons
  • Winter mode feature may not work as advertised

Trick for a DEAD battery

Reviewers who think this charger won't work on the recondition mode on a really dead battery, take note. For this charger to activate a charging sequence, whether a normal charge or a recondition, it needs to sense a minimum voltage level. If the voltage is too low, it won't fire up. This is most likely in recondition mode when you have a really deeply discharged battery. The trick to get it to fire up is to connect a known good battery in parallel, connect the charger, (I connected the charger

Pros
  • works great from small to large
Cons
  • May overcharge and damage the battery if left unattended for long periods of time

works just like advertised

Bought this to replace a VERY old charger my grandfather gave me that didn't seem to be working correctly any longer. This thing is light, works great, easy to use. I like the "repair" feature that seems to condition the battery. Have not used the jump start feature but it does have it. No complaints, does exactly what it says it should. recommend.

Pros
  • It helps you save money in the long run by preventing the need for costly battery replacements
Cons
  • May not come with all necessary cables or adapters

Box arrived unsealed.

I am happy to have received this Battery Charger, as I have heard good things about it.I was surprised that the box arrived unsealed, but in good condition.It is being used as I type this, and it appears to be fully automatic.Meanwhile I shall read the instruction pamphlet that was included in the box.The grips are not the best, they slip some holds far too easily, but I managed to get it gripping enough to turn it on.

Pros
  • The product is environment-friendly as it does not emit harmful fumes or produce noise pollution.
Cons
  • May not have a built-in light for nighttime use

Smart Choice best in my review

My previous battery charger died.I got this one and was reluctant until I used it.After I used it I fell in love.It has 4 modes.First mode lets you select what amp you want:2A Trickle5A Medium10A Extra25A HeavyThen it has "Boost" mode which I can verify it works even on with a 2015 Toyota Priuswhose aux battery hit below 4.8 volts. It said wait 120 seconds and the start.Timer counted down and then, yes, my Prius started.This charger has a "auto" charge feature and a "repair" mode which I feel…

Pros
  • It works great.
Cons
  • May have limited voltage and amperage output

Great Charger: my feedback

I do like that the charger is light weight and easy to use. I didn't have any problems at all in connecting it to my batteries. I am very satisfied overall as a purchase.

Pros
  • Works great, easy to use. Great instructions and details about every setting
Cons
  • Limited manufacturer warranty

This item works great for the most part. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 for a couple reasons.1) It will not send ANY charge into a fully discharged battery (even if the battery still works), so you have to jump it before using this device on it.2) The charge level on it seems to bounce around a lot (it will tell me a battery that was fully discharged, got jumped, and then is charging with this is at 90% charged and a few hours later it will say it is 70% charged). This % fluctuation happened on

Pros
  • Versatility & Efficient
Cons
  • May not have a power-saving mode

Got my car started.

Took me a while to figure out how to hook it up and use it. I had wanted to charge my battery but couldn't quite figure out how to do that. It said the battery was less than 1% and then bad. So instead I decided to use the engine start mode and got the car started no problem. I let it run for 30 min. Then shut it off. The tried to restart and it started up, so it did what it was designed to do. Maybe some day I figure out how to use it as a trickle charger but for now as long as it starts up…

Pros
  • Battery Chargers
Cons
  • May not work with all charging ports

Great Product and Easy to USE

Works great on my RV AGM batteries.my old battery charger would not bring back one of my older dead AGM Blue top battery.I used my new battery charger repair and charge function and it's now working at full charge.not sure how long, this had been new and went dead quickly. But the charger worked.

Pros
  • The charger/maintainer can be left unattended for an extended period without causing damage to your battery.
Cons
  • May not have a built-in temperature sensor

I bought this unit on the advice of Scotty Kilmer, who is a an auto mechanic's auto mechanic. I bought this due to its desulfating abilities, and after one test, I will admit it works for that, at the very least. But for the $140 I shelled out for it, (in Feb. 2022), you'd figure they'd be able to put out an extensive manual on how to operate the desulfate function. Nope. You get the same little useless pamphlet you'd expect from a charger one tenth the price. Bear in mind, you still need a…

Pros
  • Have used this several times now. Spectacular for jump starting car and h
Cons
  • May not have a built-in battery tester

It Works Like a Charm

Worked great. Fixed my battery that was drained after sitting for weeks and weeks. Now it is like new. Gonna use the trickle charge a bit more often to avoid a dead battery.

Pros
  • It worked just as described. Will recommend to anybody.
Cons
  • Requires a power outlet to function

So far it works great 🙂

I like that has manual mode and automatic. It recognize the type of battery quickly trickle charged properly and I'm looking forward to playing with it some more. I haven't had a very long only used it twice but so far so good

Pros
  • Lightweight and veriberl
Cons
  • May not work with all vehicle models

Must Have Item for the Pandemic!

During the pandemic, my plugin Clarity is seating idle in the garage for months. The battery is draining way faster on the Clarity than cars run on gasoline. The trunk can't be popped open, and the brake can't be released. The jump cable is not long enough for me to jump my car since the car was headed in. And I don't want to go through the trouble of unhooking the battery from the car parking on the drive way. I have to ask my brother-in-law to come over with his extra battery. I got the car…

Pros
  • It is a versatile product that can charge a range of batteries, from small 12V batteries to larger ones.
Cons
  • May not have a user-friendly interface

Plastic clips are inefficient

The positive clamp melted even worse. If left charging/maintaining for hours, this is the result. Metai/copper clamps need to be used to avoid overheated plastic.

Pros
  • The smart 12V charger/maintainer ensures your battery remains fully charged at all times, eliminating the inconvenience of a dead battery.
Cons
  • May not be compatible with remote starters
