“This is one great, not so little, unit. It's cheaper than most but that doesn't mean worse quality. It's fast (with using the inbuilt cooling fan) or you can go slow for the quieter option. It's easy to use, packs up to a smallish bundle and charges just about any battery you have.”

“I have used the charger only on lead acid batteries at this stage, yes very good. Further use will follow with lithium batteries, so unable to comment further.
Thanks.

“I bought this charger to boost on cloudy days if needed but more importantly protect my battery bank from being discharged dangerously low. Our tiny home is fully off grid powered by 3 x 170w panels charging 5 x 120ah batteries through a 40amp mppt solar controller. So far the system is set up and has passed 10 days continuously cloudy and I test run the charger at the end of day 10 to boost for 4 hours. The charger exceeded my expectations taking the battery bank from 12.2v back to over 14.3v over this time charging from a 2kva Honda generator. I also use for keeping property vehicle batteries topped up when not used for extend periods. Great product and easy to set up and use.”
“Does a great job, the setup is a breeze. Only gripe is that the fan is a bit noisy. If you rock up to site at night and your batteries are charging....don't install this under a bed!”
