I purchased this to charge/salvage some military 24V batteries that I couldn't readily replace in a diesel generator. They were 12 years old, and dead as doornails. I was amazed. 1: Batteries seemed low on electrolyte Don't add distilled water just yet (get a book)! 2: Hook up the charger alligator clips, plug it in, set the correct parameters, with lowest charge setting (1 amp) the next day, electrolyte levels had come up, and I could crank the diesel! The unit will self-terminate a charge if it does not reach full charge in ~24 hours(end of bulk charge/begin float charge) it is a great safety feature that will prevent cooking-off your batteries. Comes with a temperature sensor to regulate charging voltage based on terminal temp (battery temp) and you won't overcharge a battery in warm/hot weather very nice!
If charging flooded (wet) batteries, I highly recommend getting a book on care/feeding of lead acid batteries and a hydrometer to measure specific gravity you can indeed salvage lead-acid batteries that have not been abused. Works with Flooded/AGM and Gel cell. Knowing what I know now, I will buy AGM batteries from now on safeer and more rugged.
I liked this product so much, that I got the 12 V model, and the "wall wart" version of the 12v model. Both are outstanding. My Jeep Cherokee's 5 year battery is now 7 years old, going on 8. Desulphation works it is not a myth!

As great a product as the 12V version is, this is even better. Battery type and charge rate selectable features and a battery temp sensor put this product over the top! Two 125Ah deep cycle marine batteries in series, a power supply (APC 750XL) and this charger give me 2 days of backup power to keep the boiler going for heat/hot water at my remote cabin. The batteries are at peak power the moment the power goes out.

I bought this device for charging my wheelchairs batteries. It works well for that basic purpose. I was hoping to extend the life of those batteries by the published rejuvenating ability as advertised. It is too early to tell if I achieve that purpose. However I am happy with it as a general battery charger.

Purchased this charger for 24V powered little BigBoy forklift as last hope to wake up the battery. When I bought the forklift it came with 50lb charger and never could get the chargemeter past 2LEDs .Now using the Battery Minder for 2 months I'm on #6 and it's getting better with every week or two. Vision of spending $4000 on new battery is not on my mind anymore. Thanks ..PS: Do not buy the extra wiring harness as me .It comes with one .

The built-in desulfator will add three times the life to your batteries. I am using it to charge my electric Ezip bike batteries.
