It's too bad, this used to be a great place for information and discussion, but now it's all promotional feedback with fake accounts and comments.

I couldn't agree more!

I'm not sure if this deal includes the spring loaded clips that grab onto the terminals of a 12V gel battery. Can anyone please confirm?

I have this and it came with the alligator clips that can be attached to the battery terminals.

Mine died after one year. I would buy only with 3 year warranty.

I love how people give thumbs down for honest feedback. Just because it's not a raving review lol

My 2 cents, take it or leave it. Just contributing to SD, or I could not post.

Don't be so sensitive. You shouldn't try to get validation from SD thumbs up/down.

These are good if you are around to monitor your battery state use a volt meter and make sure it goes into trickle charge mode (low current output). I made the mistake of using a cheap GooLoo 2amp trickle charger and it almost cooked my battery. My trunk was getting hot and battery was boiling, went and got the CTEC charger for 100 bucks and now I can rest assured my house wont burn down while im on vaca 6 weeks. My benz draw about 85 milliamps of current while in sleep mode which is a bit high. And i believe the cheap trickle chargers like this one don't sense that and keep charging at full amps therefore cooking battery. CTEC charges the battery to a certain state and when it drops below it charges it again which keeps from overcharging it.

First off he said take it or leave it, so your comment is unwarranted.

Secondly, when you share your time and experience to try to help your fellow man, it gets annoying when others sabotage it based on disinformation and for the sake of making sales.

He might be right saying he could just not post. I doubt even 1/4 the posts are made by individuals anymore.

So the reviews seem to indicate a percentage of these were left in a humid environment before being sold and rusted/corroded, I picked one up figure I will crack it open and see if I got a "good" one or not. Thanks OP.

Thanks op got 4, finally have enough to keep the collection topped off.

We've had a couple of these for years. One started clicking and not charging after like 3 years in the sun, so im happy with that. hopefully these 4 last longer being inside a garage.

Thanks OP - Ordered 3 and a cheap grocery item for free shipping. Will use on motorcycles and yard equipment.

A while back I paid $20+ dollars for the same one, but after using it a short while I sold it to someone who had a more urgent need for one.Never had a problem with it tho.

Walmart store pickup SUCKs in my area. They recently built a fancy Kiosk for store pickup orders, but after checking in and waiting around for a Walmart employee to show up I am usually completely ignored. So I usually limit online purchases to ones that I plan to buy enough item(s) to get free shipping.
