I was surprised by the quality for this price.

Case with ears for stationary mounting, it may be convenient in the garage / service, at home - unnecessary.
The functionality of testing the battery and generator according to the instructions is that a conventional voltmeter is only inconvenient because it is made with light bulbs. Again, maybe someone needs it, but exactly the same thing can be done with any multimeter, since the device cannot do battery testing under load. And the power wire is tightly attached to the body, which is why it is not convenient to simply take the device to the car.
There is a mode of operation with small batteries and wires for them with loops for studs, they will not be useful to me.

Pros

Absolutely amazing shape for a car charger, very compact, complete with a bag in which it's all put. High-quality and very long wires, "crocodiles" insulated on all sides, are disconnected from the main unit with a connector (and not tightly attached to it, as is usually the case) The device is from the "turned on and forgot" series, there is nothing to configure there, it is a full automatic device, it does something by itself. However, there is a battery desulfation mode, in theory the right thing.

Cons

The power plug is epic in size and makes it difficult to insert neighboring plugs, most likely they have this wire universal for all devices, and among them there are very powerful ones! The case despite the appearance of plastic. LED indication - for an amateur, an attempt to cross professional features with a purely user interface; it would be more convenient for me to figure out the current and voltage, but here in the instructions there is a table which light bulb means how many volts. The case heats up noticeably during operation, but not critical. The maximum current is 5A, I bought this particular model because it is exactly the same, but at 10A it costs almost 2 times more, and there is another 2 times more at 40A, funny pricing. 5A to make it clear, for an average car battery, this is about a day of charge.
