Rating Summary
This charger is a great product, It has brought batteries back from the dead on icy cold mornings in seconds on the rapid charge. It has enough juice to start a f350 diesel and can also keep my weekend hot rods battery charged on the trickle charge.
“Die Hard model 71230 Battery Charger.”
Worked okay for about 2 years. It quit working. Disassembled & found the high voltage diodes were bad. Tried to order new ones from Sears & direct from Die Hard, but parts are not available. Very disappointed. I will never buy another charger from Sears!

Love it so far, used it to start a car, and to charge 2 dead batteries, no problems.
Only thing was while assembling it said to use all 4 screws for the metal foot, but only 3 of the holes lined up, so got one extra screw. :)
I bought this to recharge our RV battery. I tried other chargers to no avail, the directions stated to use a slow charge, which took a little longer but worked great (other charges which did not work, suggested a fast charge, buy **** get ****). Well worth the money, I got it on sale for $62 including tax.You can't do better anywhere. Try customer5 at check out for an extra discount.
A lot of other major sites on the web sell similar devices, like the giant "rain forest" e-tailer, however, I chose to go with "DieHard" because I thought it was a brand that meant "quality build." However, the construction of this $100+ product is flimsy. The entire thing (shell, wheels, stand, handle) are all held together by cheap sheet metal screws. Seriously, Sears? Has this what the DieHard brand turned into? For the price they're charging, I would expect at least bolts secured with nuts.
I'm also disappointed because for this price, it should come with automatic over-charge shutoff...
read full review »I need a reliable battery charger in my business on a daily basis, and based on my opinion of Craftsman tools, I thought this charger would be a good investment. I unpacked it this morning and see that I should have looked more closely at the on box information. I was overcome with the affordable price that I didn't notice the lack of features... a timer, polarity sensing, over-charge monitering... I guess I will look before I buy next time.
After 1 day's use, I still think I got a great deal. Charged 2 batteries and used the 200A boost to crank a boat motor.
I had to get this because I had battery problems with my old truck. I just never know when I will go out there and have a dead battery. This is easy for me to hook up (I am a girl,lol).
We have had this for a few years and never had any problems with it.
