Customer Reviews: Simple way to maintain a chargeMarch 14, 2009 K. R. Merryman(Missouri) 9 out of 9 found this review helpful
I have (3) three of these float chargers for my motorcycle, golf cart and lawn mower. They will not charge a dead battery but they will "maintain" a full charge. They have worked well for me over the past (2) two years.

A great little productMarch 28, 2010 Chaplain(Texas) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought three of these units for a lawnmower and two boats. I read the other reviews before I made my purchase, two were favorable, two were not. I tried one of the units in the garage on the lawnmower first. Set up was simple and straightforward. I monitored the float charger and the voltage on the battery for a week and was pleased to see it was doing what it was advertised to do. I'll try another on the boat battery next, and my expectations are that it will function like it promises to.
12 volt float battery chargerDecember 26, 2008 Jack Vigilant(USA) 22 out of 23 found this review helpful
Do yourself a favor and stay away from this product. Save your money and your batteries, avoid this charger. It destroyed over $400 worth of car batteries for me. Briefly I purchased 4 of these chargers made by Chicago
Electric. I was going away for 3 months. Removed all 12 volt batteries from my vehicles. Bought 4 of these float chargers - (Chicago Electric made in china). Hooked up 1 to each battery. Checked output on each charger with fluke multimeter. Read ok. approx 12.7 volts.
Placed them on surge protector circuit . When returning after 90 days all batteries where dead. Reading from 5 volts to 11.99. $400 plus dollars of batteries ruined. If I had not hooked them up to anything I would have been better off. I got all my money back on the chargers. So what. They do not maintain a float charge on any battery . You would not notice if you tested for a short time as they drain battery slowly as they do not maintain 12.6 voltage. The circuitry has a defective design from factory on all these junk chargers. Hope this helps. PS they appear to be working(lights up and volt reading appears correct - but long term use will show they are defective. Is it possible I purchased a bad batch- maybe defective components- but I personally will buy another brand and test it for few weeks. buyer beware.
Didn't FloatJune 1, 2009 R. Barker(Salt Lake City, UT) 8 out of 9 found this review helpful
I had a similar experience as "Jack". This float charger ruined my $50 atv battery. I had just bought the battery, went out riding once, then put it up for the winter on my float charger. The charger didn't float and it fried the cells. POS. Spend a few more bucks and get one that works.
