Customer Reviews

Look Elseware
This unit self destructs without fail after 6 months of use. I have gone through three of them so far because there is no other small charger that i can find. You will find this unit packaged under different brand names, and under different colors at different stores so watch out.

Finally i got tired of returning the thing and sprung for a "battery minder" trickle charger. Works perfect.

stinks
I'm on my 3rd one. Everyone self destructs after a few months. When it fails the On/Off relay switches rapidly and who-knows-what its doing to your expensive battery. I even put mine on a mechancical timer so that its only On an hour a day - still developed the problem. Time to suck it up and spend more money on a battery tender. I would not trust leaving the house with this thing plugged in - might come home to ashes!

Avoid at all costs
I tried two of these. Both units would not automatically go to standby, or float mode, once the batteries were fully charged. They just continued in charging mode and got extremely hot. Batteries got warm too. I see potential for a real fire hazard here. Confirmed the intended operation with B&D Support. Would be ideal if it really worked.
