“Received the above charger on 10th August and was purchased with the view of charging my lead acid starting battery and lead acid deep cycle battery in my car and a lithium battery in my caravan.
To date it charged my lead acid starting battery OK but not the deep cycle battery. The charger was on the 105Ah deep cycle battery for approximately six hours on fast STD mode and was stuck on stage 5 at 14.4V and the status LED was still blinking, so not fully charged in my view. So I disconnected it and measured 15.3V at the battery which settled to 12.7V by the next day. The battery maximum input voltage is 14.4V. I was disappointed that the charger had not finished the fully charged cycle on the unit. I may try charging it again on slow mode to see if it goes through the full cycle to fully charged. I have not yet tried it on my Lithium battery but will post again if not successful.
Also the KickAss website shows the output lead to the anderson plug to be 1.8m whereas it is actually 1m and the extension lead with clamps is 0.5m long.”
Hi Trevor, I am sorry that your experience with the 22amp charger has been disappointing. I would recommend submit a support ticket at support portal regarding the battery charger getting stuck on stage 5.
I have also passed the feedback on the measurements to the marketing team.
