DieHard 71222 Fully-Automatic Battery Charger / Engine Starter for 12- Review

DieHard 71222 Fully-Automatic Battery Charger / Engine Starter for 12-

This is listed as a "fully automatic" car battery charger, which means that if you select a charge amperage it's supposed to automatically maintain that charge amperage.

However, "fully automatic" does NOT mean this is a Battery Maintainer. This does NOT have Float-Mode Monitoring. You cannot just connect this to your car battery and forget it because if you do, pretty soon this will completely destroy your battery.

If you do not disconnect this charger after your battery is fully-charged, it will overcharge your car battery which will reduce it's capacity and eventually ruin it permanently. You need to read the manual carefully to figure this out and you need to connect a separate battery meter to determine if the battery is fully charged.

You can safely ignore the meter on the front because it's useless. With a fully dead battery, the meter will show as fully charged.

This is O.K. for a brute-force charging but the phrase "fully automatic" in the title is very deceptive. There are much better car battery chargers out there for less money that will keep your battery healthy.

Schumacher EC-4000-USB Large Emergency Glove Box Charger w/USB port Review

I wanted with anticipation for this product ans was let down. The charger simply doesn't work.

It's been charging over 24 hours now and the charging light stays green, it doesn't change to red as mentioned in the manual.

When I attempted to use it, thinking the battery was fully charged ( Maybe it came completely charged that's why it was green all the time), it's actually the opposite, the battery is completely drained.
