Review on Efficient Charging With LST 7 Stages 5A Battery Charger - 3.3A 12V For Ultimate Performance by Ryan Cornelison

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great, but needs longer low voltage cords

I like the fact that it is microprocessor controlled so that it is not constantly charging the battery. Great for maintaining the battery for longer durations. Unfortunately, it did not get a 5 rating due to the length of the cords. The low voltage side should have longer cords (only 4 ft. should be at least 6-8 ft) so that the trickle charger can be outside the engine compartment and thus the leds are visible without lifting the hood and it you cover the car then outside the cover.

Pros
  • I run ham radios in my vehicle on an auxiliary battery. This keeps the second battery topped off.
Cons
  • The charger may not have a stable connection to the battery during charging
