Review on TOPDON TORNADO1200 6V 12V 1.2 Amp Smart Car Battery Charger & Maintainer with Temperature Compensation and Desulfator by Bryan Reed

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I was skeptical about triggers, chargers and portable power supplies

I was very skeptical at first. And couldn't get him to charge the dead battery in my truck. It stayed on standby for 24 hours without charging the battery. Forced charging didn't work either. I was willing to give a shattering review and get my money back. I then hooked it up to the battery in my car to make sure it worked. Immediately showed a charge of 75%. So I knew it wasn't a defect. Then I took the battery out of my truck, plugged in the charger and selected the normal 12V mode, pressed the mode button to start charging, then pressed it again for 6 seconds to switch to forced charge mode. After about 20 minutes, the 25% LED started blinking! Yes, success! I would advise the manufacturer to retrofit a forced charging indicator for future models. Thus, the user knows that he is actually in forced loading mode. Very happy and satisfied with this charger!

Pros
  • Tools and equipment
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
