Charging Timer?

Would this gizmo be any use? Instructions at bottom of the link--none come with package as they warn.

Not sure I am reading it right--need more eyes on to confirm. Thanks.

Seems to answer the problem of how to put a timer on your charger if you don't put a "regular" timer on the 120v. Not clear if you are left with no charging at all. You could have the converter at 13.6 and use another charger at 14.6 with this timer? (when 14.6 time is up the 13.6 would be there to carry on in that case)

BFL13,

If you can't return it would you believe that quality control is high--or low? It doesn't matter if it is a 50 cent item--if you can't return it--I am NOT interested.

I could not find the owner's manual.

Who would really return a $10 item if it didn't work? Goodness.

Perhaps this particular gizmo is too lightweight for RV work, but it is a good idea for some scenarios?

Even if they do it can be a hassle. I stay away from ebay.

I would be worried switching 30 amps DC with that small relay. Maybe control a 15 amp charger.
Otherwise I would expect more reliability switching the AC power.
