yep, relatively new super hi dollar lithium ion motorcycle battery was boiled over by this charger. 2 AGM high dollar batteries now have a memory and do not hold more than 75% charge after being charged on this charger. Problem is this charger charges at 15 volts. good for lead acid batteries, but not the newer AGM and lithium ion batteries. Auto parts store sell auto sense chargers that can tell if battery is wet cell, AGM, or lithium ion for the same price. I found a way to use this charger....had to rig up two high current diodes in parallel so that the voltage drops .7 volts before it hits the AGM batteries. It works, but it;s a cluge.
Cons: no good for agm or ion, no wet cell agm or ion selector, charges at 15 volts - too high
No, I do not recommend this product.

This charger works exactly as described. It brought two batteries in my motorhome from unable to crank to firing right up. I love the digital display and the gauge that show the battery level. I have not used the start feature yet. Unlike other reviews, I've had no trouble winding up the cords and putting the clamps back into their storage position. Great battery maintainer. I have a vehicle I seldom drive and this is really helping to extend the life of that battery. I'm very pleased with this purchase.
Pros: Easy to Use, Good Size & Weight, Lots of Features, Nice Design
Yes, I recommend this product.

I bought this charger to help me winterize my boat and Sea Doo. Both had been sitting for most of the fall and the batteries were dead. This charger was working within 5 minutes of being removed from the box. It had both batteries up and running in no time. The quick start feature is a major plus. It was as easy to operate as 1-2-3. Another quality product by Black and Decker. Highly recommended!
Pros: Lots of Features, Easy to Use, High Quality

This charger is small with plenty of power with 25 amp charging rate. It is also uneffected by the not so clean electric produced by my 800 watt generator that other electronic battery chargers will not operate from. It will fully recharge my deep cycle battery on my camping trailer in two hours after a day of use running on the inverter. Great for deep cycle marine batteries as well. Fortunately I haven't had to used the boost mode yet so I can't comment on that.
Yes, I recommend this product.

I used this charger to fully charge my battery on my ML63. It was gentle enough for my Mercedes, doesn't blow fuses or causes electrical failures, but FAST....it took only 1.5 hours to fully charge my battery. My original reason for wanting to charge my battery was cause the other day i was with friends listening to music and i drained my battery and i know my alternator isn't enough to fully charge my battery, WHICH WAS SMART CAUSE IT WAS LOW, so i knew i needed a full charge so i won't ever find myself strained. I already fully charged 3 batteries. BUY THIS CHARGER AND YOU WONT GO WRONG, IT ALSO HAS 5 YEARS WARRANTY!
Yes, I recommend this product.
