I went to use the charger for the first time and the pin that holds the alligator clamp came out. You can't get good quality anymore.That's right i forgot...When i received that charger it was assembled upside down. The feet to rest the charger on were on the top of the charger. Junk, Junk

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Battery Charger. Easy to use. Brought back Dead battery, Multiple Modes.
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2016
Size: 15 AmpStyle: ChargerVerified Purchase
Very pleased. I had ordered a Die Hard Charger from Walmart that was suppose to charge all types of batteries AGM, GEL, and WET with automatic settings. After days of trying it it just wouldn't charge a battery that was completely dead with no residual charge.
Knowing that it is difficult to revive a battery once it has lost to much power I was skeptical about getting another charger. This Black & Decker charger was perfect. Not only was it easy to learn to use and understand it offers different modes and the Display lets you know exactly what is going on unlike the other one. It showed me that I had 8.1 volts and was unusable. I tried the regular Charge but it wouldn't work so I put it in Battery Reconditioning mode and let it go for 24 hours. The next day it wasn't doing any better so I let it go a second day in Reconditiioning Mode. The Reconditioning Mode doesn't show success or failure. The best way to describe it is it stimulates the battery. So after 2 days I decided to try Charge again. At first I thought it was dead, I got FL0 indicator. I stepped away a few minutes and came back it it was charging at 14.4 and the battery was 75% full. It did reach 100% of capacity at 13.4 volts, battery saved. Just one thing to note. When you hit the button for charge the light goes on and you see the activity. If you hit the button again thinking you need to in order to see progress you inadvertently turn the charger off. Use the Battery Voltage button to check progress at any time. It illuminates the the LED screen for a minute and then turns back off and doesn't affect anything else. Best battery charger I ever bought. Charging the tractor battery now. I don't usually write reviews but this one was worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Vehicle battery charger by Black and Decker. Buy two, they are worth it.
Reviewed in the United States on June 24, 2016
Size: 15 AmpStyle: ChargerVerified Purchase
Review of my person experience ahead - no technical vernacular. Just a dad charging a vehicle battery. But it is all positive.

I have a vehicle that I do not use that often but gets weekly starts. Recently the battery, an 8 year old deep cycle Optima yellow top has been discharging before the weeks end to the point where I can not start the vehicle. This has not been an issue in the entire 8 years of the battery which I purchased brand new. I bought this charger just for this battery and situation, and I am pleasantly pleased with the results. I was under the assumption that I was going to have to charge my battery often, once a week as per my recent situation. After hooking the battery up, and pushing the "Charge" button on the charger it went into an automatic charging mode.The Charger has multiple option, and a way to check the condition of the battery while charging as well as the volts etc. It took 8 hours to run a charging cycle and charge the battery to full as reported by the charger itself. From what I understand the battery charger reconditioned the battery and I have not had to recharge the battery going on the third week. This charger did an amazing job reconditioning my 8 year old Yellow top. I am impressed. For the price it is a quality machine, looks good on the shelf, the cables and the plug all roll up into the device, and has options I most likely will never use, and If you need a car or vehicle battery charged to the best it can possibly be, this is the charger to use. Also, if you ride motorcycles and your buddy needs to borrow your battery charger this unit will fit in a back pack with ease.

Dad to dad, if you have more than one car or Truck, or a bank of car batteries for solar or something else, you need this man. You are worth it. Just buy it. You won't regret it.

Lot of elect inform on control panel. i expected it to hold the battery at exactly 13.4v like the West Marine version does of this same unit. The B&D brings to 13.4, goes into FLO mode, but lets the battery drop to 12.6 to 12.8v before kicking back on., THis is decent but not the best for the longest life of the batteries. THey should be held at exactly 13.4 v continuously round the clock 24/7, all year when your boat, mower, golf cart, etc is not being used. This B&D was only $60, less than the West Marine brand at $99, but i would purchase the WEST MARINE brand next time do the consistent 13.4 volt FLO mode. Best charger I know of though for between $60 and $100. I have two of them for a few years now. I know some Minn Kota's that act like the B&D - they bring to 13.4v, then let it drop down(whowever long that takes), to 12.6v then brings the voltage back up. Its better than letting it go dead, but not the very best way to keep batteries. I've had 4 batteries on different boats no over a few decades, and each has lasted 6 years at which point i change it anyway. Not sure why they changed the programming just for B&D, but i am trying to reach the manufacturer ( I N T E R T E K ) to find if that is correct but so far i cant find a phone #. Sorry so long, but just a lesson in batteries. Have a good day.

Be aware and don't waste your time and money, as Amazon US is sending 120V device not suitable to UK 230V. It's ridiculous.

5.0 out of 5 stars I LOVE THIS THING - saved my $200+ Lexus battery!

This this is fantastic! I made the rookie mistake of storing my car over the winter in a unheated garage with the battery still in it and not on a charger like I should have done. This took a toll on the batter and the batter wouldnt hold any charge.
I bought this expecting to use it for the new battery, to keep the car trickle charging through the winter and keep it in good shape but I figured I would give this charger's battery reconditioning cycle a try. 3 18 hour cycles later and the batter fully charged up! I brought it to my mechanic to test and he said it was in perfect working order! No need to replace it after all!

TLDR; Battery wore out over the winter - bought this and used the reconditioning feature - saved it from the dead! COULDN'T BE HAPPIER!
