Review on πŸ”‹ RIIMONE Smart Battery Charger: Advanced Trickle Charger and Maintainer for LiFePO4 Deep Cycle Batteries - 6Amp, 6V/12V by Brett Jarvis

Revainrating 4 out of 5

OK, but not surprising.

The charger is quite easy to use, the manual that comes with it gives general information about how it works and its features but doesn't go into all of its features how to use how to switch modes. I bought this to charge my new AGM battery for my audio system and it fully charged in less than 30 minutes but it says it keeps the batteries charged and only pulses when the battery needs it and avoids overcharging prevented. After unplugging it I decided to try this and plugged it back in and it started charging but then the fan in the charger turned off so I thought maybe it was a sign that it wasn't charging anymore , but at the same time it was still turning off 14v and saying the battery wasn't charged yet when it was or should have been. A few minutes later I heard a noise and it was my battery gasping from overheating from overcharging; So the reloading system is not bulletproof and has its drawbacks. I hope it's just because the battery was already fully charged and the charger didn't know what to do and didn't read properly. This really should be a 3 star rating as it damaged my battery but it could also be my fault for putting it back in. But other than that, the features are good, the voltage reading is accurate, verified with a Fluke multifunction meter, and the modes switch easily.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly
