Didn't work but Revain did what they always do, get it right

I got the charger and did what the manufacturer said but couldn't get it to charge so wanted to I return it but it is non-refundable so Amorim has kindly refunded the purchase price, we are and have been core members for a while and when we have a problem I call them and they do everything they can to fix all of that I know a lot of you aren't big contributors but we've found that after a few bookings it pays off and we get all the shows and movies that Revain has to offer with our membership…

Pros
  • Handy thing
Cons
  • Obsolete model

I really wanted this to work, but it didn't!

I bought this unit for all of its specs, hoping it would be a good replacement for my 20 year old Schumacher charger with the added benefit of being able to start the car. Unfortunately it didn't charge my battery so I took my old Schumacher charger and charged the battery with no problem. I also noticed that the fans don't turn on. Such a disappointment. Trying to find a charger that actually works is a chore. I can't find one that doesn't have bad reviews. especially blocks that stopped…

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Not the best

Tried 3 chargers DSR118

DSR118- First unit I got when I connected the clamps to the battery it sparked and when I turned on the unit it said to connect the clamps if they were connected. The battery was fine, I put it in to save the battery for the winter. I buy chargers 2 and 3 individually hoping to get a good one, but both don't completely turn off the display, it gets dark and flickers. I called the shop they said they couldn't do anything on the phone and couldn't return it. Also one of the flickers when charging

Pros
  • 50 amp engine start for emergency start
Cons
  • Lots of stuff

Works, feels solid.

My Camaro battery was dead and I had 1 regular charger/AGM charger and 2 new small chargers designed to regenerate completely dead batteries. I mainly use the small ones for chargers. No one would charge a dead battery in my 2010 Camaro, and the battery is only a few months old. The tester showed less than 2%, so I bought this best pro series charger. As soon as I connected the positive and negative cables from the charger to the battery, the alarm went off in the car, which is a good sign. I…

Pros
  • Fit Type: Universal Fit

  • Having issues

Manual and Auto mode are mandatory

I have used chargers my whole life and found them to be trouble free. Over forty years of use and my Schumacher fuck me. I was about to order the same model until I decided there are manual chargers and automatic chargers - each has its own purpose and each has its drawbacks. The loading machine cannot detect a fully discharged battery and would therefore indicate that the battery is exhausted. Manual charging only knows that the battery is connected and tries to charge it. Under certain…

Pros
  • Service mode 15 to 40 amps
Cons
  • Some problems

Didn't work properly

charger arrived on time but the box itself has seen better days. No big deal as long as everything works right? Well, the two batteries I had, it charged pretty quickly; but that was all he could do. Cold weather (and bad wiring on my old truck) drained the battery as expected, so I plugged it in and put it on boost/start. It turned on and off several times instead of staying on and after a while said the battery was low. Which is definitely not the case as (having used my portable launcher to…

Pros
  • 10 amp fast charge charges batteries in 3-5 hours
Cons
  • Mostly ok but...
