The AC cord is six feet long, and the charge cable is five feet long which together both should reach most any battery without an extension cord. An added plus is it has the solar system type (SAE) DC connectors that the brand Battery Tender uses so it can be readily connected to any battery with this type of cable or, it comes with a cable clamp pair for connecting directly to a battery terminal. At 3.0 amps (claimed) charge rate and 13.6 V, a large deep cycle group 31 / 105 Ah battery drawn down to 11.5 volts (<20% charge) is going to be a LONG, long wait to completely charge it.Īs a maintainer / casual charger (lead acid / AGM only) it's just OK (see On the down side, below) and the display shows you exactly what it's doing. When I found I needed one more charger I decided to try this one.ĭischarging a battery to below 60% (12.2 volts on a 12 volt battery) will just show 'Lo' on the charger readout for a L-O-N-G time, the time depends on the amp hour rating of the battery. I've seen these at Wal Mart for a while and wondered how good the were.
