 If you need this sort of thing, this is the sort of thing you need May 24, 2008

I had a problem. A very bad car accident left me partially disabled. So these days I do very little driving. Just getting to and from the store and that's about it.
The problem I had is that I seldom drove long enough or far enough to fully charge my car battery, and on more than one occasion I'd get in it to go somewhere and the battery would be dead.
I've used a number of trickle chargers in the past. But there's the problem of digging them out and unhooking them when the battery is ready.
This charger, however, has been perfect for me and my situation. It's mounted permanently under the hood so I always know where it is. It charges the battery fully then shuts itself off. I can leave it plugged in for weeks and it shuts itself off automatically. When I'm ready to use the car, I unplug it and go. When I park the car in the garage for what always turns out to be extended periods, I plug it in and on my next trip the battery has a full charge. My days of getting into the car only to discover the battery died are over.
If your situation is similar, or if you own a vehicle that only gets occasional use, like a truck for errands or an RV, this could be the thing for you.

Works great for battery in vehicle used for recreation that's not used often. It's nice to know that it will start when you decide to use it.
 No 12 ft. power cord! February 9, 2008

The product description indicates that this product comes with a 12 ft. power cord which is why I opted for this model. Alas, I am now stuck with a 6 inch power cord.
Gets the job done - but loud January 17, 2008

I incorporated this charger into a portable PA system that I built out of an old floor speaker, a car amp, and a deep cycle battery. It really does a great job of charging the 17.2 Ah battery overnight and gives me enough juice to blast music nonstop for over 6 hours.
I only have two issues with using the charger for admittedly a purpose that it wasn't specifically designed for:
1. It is hella-loud when it's plugged in. Make sure that if you're using it project where it'll be operating indoors, that you have place to plug it in where it wont disturb anyone sleeping. It will out-humm any refrigerator.
2. The mounting bracket that it comes with is really convenient, but it does have a tendency to rattle a bit, since it's bolted down only on one side of the charger.
Otherwise, does what it should, and does it well. And the indicator light saves you the embarrassment of thinking your batteries are charged when in fact you had a loose contact or something.
Does it all and does it well January 7, 2008
This is the second unit I have purchased. I had this hardwired in my 1983 Porsche for 10 years and it always kept my battery in top condition, I just bought a Ferrari and one of the first things I did was buy this and install it.This is a must have if you have a weekend only car.
