Charging works, WiFi connectivity and the app leave a lot to be desired.

Although it works as a charger, I bought it mainly for the Wi-Fi connection and the app and it doesn't work there. The app is incredibly simple. It really just tells you what its charge and voltage are. It was impossible to connect the device to WiFi. First, it only supports 2.4GHz. Many access points set up their network with a single SSID that operates on both 5 GHz and 2.4 GHz. Not all customers support this, including this charger. Even after reconfiguring my network to have a separate name

Pros
  • An absolute legend
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Hard wiring and poor WiFi

My car doesn't fit in the garage. Was looking in the driveway by the garage for something to keep the battery charged. I also liked the idea of being able to control it via WiFi. And it would be nice to have 20A fast charge and 75A boost capabilities. Turns out the alligator clips on the charger are hardwired to the charger. These are not quick disconnects like other chargers. WiFi doesn't work at all. I also bought a separate wireless monitor for another charger. Both do not connect to my WLAN

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Hard to say

Only four stars because the WiFi setup is poorly implemented

How the charger does everything I want. I own several Battery Tender products and they never disappoint in their primary purpose: allowing you to service batteries (and charge them, depending on the model) with no fuss. Exactly what we need. However, Wi-Fi appears to be grafted on. Such a company cannot also be an expert in the technology required to do what it is supposed to do (app, Wi-Fi, etc.) and it is obvious to me that this has not been done very well . No connection to my network (which

Pros
  • Very impressive
Cons
  • Not happy with everything

The charger is great. But WiFi is a BIG MISTAKE. Dumb and Dumber!

Yes, read reviews. WiFi FAIL and short cables. And the cables come out from the bottom of the device. So if you carry this by the handle and then want to put it down, it rips the cords. Dull design. Dumb and Dumber! Press and hold works in that order (but no showstopper); Charge 20A boost trickle charge 12V power supply So if it is connected to the battery in charge mode and I want to switch to trickle mode, does that mean I will put 20 amps into the battery before switching? Bad idea. So we…

Pros
  • Elegant design
Cons
  • No

How I managed to get the charger to connect to my wifi

Was difficult to set up but I finally figured out what the problem was. I had to use an old Cisco/Linksys router to initially mirror and set up my work network. This does not work with my company wireless Unifi gear even if I disable 5g. I eventually found out that there was a 2.4GHz WiFi setup in my Cisco/Linksys configuration that allowed me to go from a mixed (802.11b/g/n) to a (802.11b/n) environment. g) to switch. After I managed to drop the 801.11n standard, the charger connected directly

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Was broken

Ordered anyway despite the reviews, immediately regretted it.

I have had this charger less than 24 hours and it has already been returned to Revain. As the name suggests, despite the bad reviews, I bought this product to try it out. I am a strong believer in the Battery Tender name having installed multiple onboard chargers on my many vehicles with great success. I expected this product to be reliable and to work well, but instead it completely let me down. I regularly charge large batteries for heavy equipment, sometimes large tractor batteries. I…
