Stop the nonsense and spend a few $$ more and get the Black and Decker. Great charger with the proper algorithm so you don't destroy an expensive battery or two or four.....
These cheap chargers just "dump" amperage into the battery with no regard to their current state of charge. Not good.
I have a garage full of cheap high current chargers that I did extensive testing on for motorcycle and trolling motor batteries. So far the only units I trust for trickle charge are Optimate and Deltran and for big batteries that need heavy duty charging the ONLY one I've found worth its salt is the Black and Decker VEC1093DBD
