I bought this charger about 1 year ago. The handle broke off of it within the first 6 months (cheap plastic. The control knobs are cheap and come off easily. The automatic shut-off never did appear to function properly. I had it stored in a controlled environment and just went and got it off of the shelf. Now the charge side will not function at all. Being an electronic enginneer, I decided I could find out why. When I opened the box, something I don't recommend anyone without experience doing, I saw a product that is pieced together quite poorly. I am not at all impressed. Think I'll try a Schumacher now instead of even trying to fix this piece of shabby craftsmanship!!

I bought this for the auto on and off. I destroyed 2 expensive Marine Batterys because it never shut off and overcharged the Batterys.
I personally would not recommend this charger

This charger features an Automatic On/Off, which will automatically shut off the charger to prevent overcharging and destroying a battery. It will charge a standard 12 volt battery in about 4-5 hours, or boost a battery to start your engine. It works with all types of 6 and 12 volt batteries. It is about $...-... less than buying it in discount automotive stores in the lower 48 States. (don't even ask what it costs up here in Alaska!)
