Foval Automatic Trickle Battery Charger 12V 1000mA Smart Battery Charger

These are great little chargers! We have actually bought more. The charger is small, not bulky. It comes with more than one way to hook to a battery. If your battery is dead, this does take a few days to charge it fully. It works great as a "trickle" charger for vehicles that aren't used often, such as our tractor or sports car. Super easy to use and set up, and the lights are clear and writing easy to read.

I bought this to keep the battery maintained on a car I don't drive often. For the price, it works great. The battery stays topped off and it's easy to install and remove. It comes with a terminal ring attachment for a more permanent fitting, but the clamps work well enough for me. The cord can be somewhat short, so park near an outlet.

This is inexpensive charger that works OK and it will trickle charge your battery and also will serve as a normal charger. The charger does work OK and I would recommend it if you are looking for one. I found few cons with it. First is the printed manual. The manual is written on a card 1x1 inch and in the 1 point font. I could not read it even with glasses and had to resort to magnifying glass. Second con are the clamps. The are kind of wimpy and don't hold well. You need to pay attention how you clamp the leads and also pull them a little after you clamp to make sure they do not come off. The charger I got was returned, because the wires were not factory wrapped. Someone clearly wrapped them by hand. Except for the motorcycle wire, that was OK. I am not taking off stars for that since the charger worked fine. I charged both batteries in my cars and it worked OK. It took couple of days to charge brand new battery but it did work. This is expected since it is only 1A charger. Another con is the writing on the charger, like 5 year old wrote it - twinkle? What does twinkle mean? Couldn't they use "blinking"? The yellow light is very dim and kind of greenish yellow. Red light you can see from far away, but yellow is so dim that you need to look directly into the charger to see it. The charger is microprocessor controlled and it does not put out any voltage when not connected to a battery. At first I thought I got defective charger, after putting multimeter on it. But after connecting charger to a battery, I could see voltage go up. My unit does not put out current to specifications. The manual specifies 1A+/- 0.4A. My charger puts out 0.94A which is outside its spec. The charger is very light and wires are not super long. You most likely will need extension cord to power it, unless you have an outlet right in front of the car. Other than that charger is OK. Does its job without any issues and certainly not expensive. I would definitely go with it over battery tender which is much more expensive just because of the name.

Works well as a battery maintainer. I don't drive a lot, so I keep the car battery attached to this to keep it topped up. 1-amp charging is not going to win any awards for speed, but for a battery maintainer, it's great. I liked that it includes a cord with clamps and a cord with ring terminals (for a more permanent install on the vehicle.) The ring terminal cord has an inline fuse which makes me feel better about leaving it attached. The cord on the AC side is not long, so have an extension handy. But the cords for the battery side are long enough the charger does not have to sit inside the engine compartment. LED turns to green when it's done. Other than that, it's pretty simple. For the price, it's well worth it.

Have it mounted strait to the battery terminals with the plug sticking out one of my side panels on My motorcycle for quick easy plug in and disconnect kept my motorcycle battery good all winter long in my motorcycle when nice weather came around it started up no hesitation glad I bought it!

Works perfect, quality for cost. Easy to use and nice and compact

Prompt delivery. Prior trickle charger just stopped working. My guess is that the internal, not-replaceable fuse protection failed when the charger was bumped. Bought this one because: 1) had two types of connectors; 2) has fuse protection; 3) has over-charge protection; 4)small, so I can leave it permanently connected to the battery but unplugged in the RAV4 rear luggage compartment. Then just plug in extension cord when needed. Works, so will see for how long.

It's not charging at all....seems some problem in the product ...
