It Charged my Hybrid Sedan

Like many others out there, I haven't driven my car out much due to the pandemic. So I needed a way to charge the battery in my car. This seemed to do the trick. Here's the history:1. The car hasn't been driven much throughout the pandemic.2. My car is a hybrid sedan.3. I drove it maybe twice for short trips, but it's basically sat in the garage.4. I used my wife's car the jump the battery and took it out for a 30 minute drive after getting it jumped.5. A week later, I tried using it again but the car wouldn't turn over.6. So I searched the web for a solution and/or a product.7. So I bought this product.8. I plugged it in a charged up the battery.When I plugged it in and clicked on the Charge button, it said 0% capacity and about 9.something volts. It took almost 24 hours for the battery charger to go to the FLOAT stage.LIKES:* It was really easy to use.* Fairly inexpensive solution to charge the battery.DISLIKES:* Somewhat bulky compared to other products on the market.DON'T KNOW OR HAVEN'T TESTED OR MISC:* I haven't tried the start assist feature on this product* From my research, I guess there's a difference between a battery charger versus one that jump starts a car. So I bought this to charge the battery since I could jump start the car with another car* I've only used it once.

Pros
  • The 12V battery charger ensures that your car battery is always in good condition and ready to use
Cons
  • May not work well with older vehicles
