Auto settings are good for charging batteries

When working on a car I usually have to unlock the steering column and/or automatic transmission in neutral. Most vehicles require the ignition switch to be in the accessory position, which drains the battery. I use the power function for this. The charger can be placed anywhere under the hood. Automatic settings are good for charging batteries. I've been using it almost every day for 2 years and haven't had any problems with it.

Pros
  • Best in niche
Cons
  • Has some quirks

One of the best chargers.

Well I have about 10 chargers, don't ask me why, I have them. this is my way easy to read. If you're color blind like me, the ones with dots suck! how to see percentages and numbers. The LED tells you everything you need to know about the status of your battery. It's much cheaper to buy a charger to refresh old batteries than to buy one every time a failure occurs. I also have battery tenders this will work that way but cheaper options for long term care battery charging and recovery this will…

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Not bad but...

I read all the negative reviews about this charger but still decided to give it a try. The Revain price was the best price found for this model. The PL2320 20 Amp 6/12V Battery Charger/Maintainer includes the power supply function I need when working on cars in the shop. It has worked well so far, even bringing back a partially sulfated battery. to life if my mind changes I will do so and update. Updated November 3, 2020: PL2320 still works great in store since purchased in July 2019. The store

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great customer support, great product, for you after the sale!

I bought this in March to keep the deep cycle batteries charged for rebuilding my old camper. The device did a wonderful job of keeping the 205Ah batteries charged. It also brought back a dead battery in my Nissan Titan. Unfortunately the device stopped working after 6 months, probably because rain got into my unfinished camper van. I contacted the company via Facebook messenger and within a week they sent me a new block. They told me they had a 12 month guarantee and were excited to replace…

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • Easily repairable

Exploded when I put it in my pocket

I bought this charger to replace a Schumacher I've had since the 1970's that still worked but didn't have the features of newer devices. I had high hopes for this charger based on the many positive reviews. I read the manual and plugged it in, but when I plugged it in there was a loud "POP" and a bright blue arc of light showing through the vents. The charger was then completely dead and I sent it back. I won't buy any other. It felt too light and flimsy and was made in Vietnam. Luckily it…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Nothing

Quality Charger

I have used it and it works very well. FIRST you must read the instructions very well. I knew it would actually kick start the car, but it doesn't and it's my fault. I try to keep my kit in good condition so I bought a small case to store it. I had some doubts about the size of the case and just wanted a cheap case. I bought this case and it works great. The charger fits in perfectly, with about 1/2 inch clearance at the top, leaving about 4 inches on each side (on one side or the other) to…

Great charger. Use it often and love it

I love this charger. I use it as a backup battery for a 200W 300Ah solar gel battery (4 x 75Ah batteries) and it works great. Easy to set up, easy to read and looks great with all the other gadgets I have connected. Keep my fridge plugged into the solar panel all the time and sometimes my (500 watt) entertainment system. I use this charger at night when my batteries drop below 12.3V. It charges fast and works under load so I don't have to unplug anything. I'm hooked up to 2 medium batteries…

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Only available in black

Great charger with digital display and multi-phase charging

Due to the coronavirus pandemic, my diesel truck was parked most of the time and both of its batteries were slowly draining. Ideal for charging, the Clore charger will automatically go from 'charging' to fast charging to absorption (important for an AGM battery) to completion and then to rest, movement and battery recovery. The charge indicator shows the charge status as a percentage when driving past. When connecting two batteries in parallel, I disconnected the leads from each battery and…

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Not sure

One of the best chargers I've used

One of the best chargers I've used. The ability to select battery voltage, type and charge current makes this product very versatile, and the temperature compensation feature means the product will not undercharge in winter and overcharge in summer. I really wanted to give this product 5 stars BUT there are some little things that I don't like (I wouldn't call them faults but things I wish were different). 1) The voltage/percentage selector switch is very close to the switch. With gloves on (or

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Not as thick as others
