My wife bought a small 12v battery for a lawn tractor at her parents house. It sat around a good while with no charge. When I finally got it, my voltmeter showed like 0.5 volts. Since a regular 12 volt lead acid battery is considered completely empty at like 12.2 volts or something like that, Im thinking this battery is shorted dead and ruined.
Bought this charger after reading the reviews here and such.
This is my first large battery charger. I like the microprocessor feature.
Hooked up the battery to the charger. After testing the battery, it went to de-suflizer mode first and then...

I bought this microprocessor-controlled charger / starter for my husband's birthday knowing that we were going to try and re-start a classic car that we'd had garaged for four years.

The microprocessor tells you when to crank and how long to wait before trying again. The engine started on the second attempt...

I let the charger charge until it shut off and tried starting the car with no luck. It had gone from a click to a few revs and nothing. I tried letting it charge overnight and got the same result.
I then decided to try the jump start function, but was disappointed with similar results. I would have thought a charger with a jump start...

When it works it is great BUT:
Several times I have been charging for hours and the battery % hasn't moved. You unplug it and plug it back in and the % changes...the battery was reading at 65%, now you're at 70% do it again and it reads 45%. or;
I once charged a battery overnight, came out in the morning and it is flashing "bad", with no time to charge the battery before the fishing tournament begins . By 10am trolling motor juice is gone and so is my chance at winning.
When the bad is flashing unplug it, plug it back...

I bought at Kmart and lost the receipt so I can't return it.
Recommend you spend your money on a USA made product.
