Review on Automatic Smart Battery Charger/Maintainer With Winter Mode - Ampeak 2/8/15A 12V by Nicholas Serafini

Bought this after reading a lot of reviews. Lot of good things about this charger. Bought this because I have a second car I dont get to drive to often and because of that. The battery slowly lost a charge and finally needed to jump start it. Its a good battery but letting it sit caused the battery to die.I got this to help keep the battery charged so I wouldn't have to jump start it every time. I take it out of the box and when I plugged it in it says connect clamps. I do such and it keeps telling me to clamp to the terminals. I undo the clamps, unplug the charger, then redo everything. It gives me the same start message. At first I thought I had a DOA product. But reading into other's reviews. I decided to test it out on a brand new battery I bought a month ago for my daily car.Turns out, it worked as intended when I hooked it up to my new battery. Im a little concern that my it says my battery had a 60% charge but it started to auto charge after awhile. Turns out people are right, This charger works good on batteries that have some charge in it but trying to recharge a battery that has nothing in it doesn't work.So if you're looking to maintain your batteries, it works perfectly fine and as intended. But trying to recharge a completely dead battery doesn't work with this "smart" charger.
