There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
The other day my sons truck refused to start. He thought it was the starter as there was just a click and the engine didn't even breath a sigh. He checked his battery with his cheap voltmeter and it said he had over 14 volts. (That can't be right. Kinda high.) Truck wouldn't start. I checked with my good voltmeter and got over 12 volts - more accurate. Truck still wouldn't start. Maybe it really is the starter. I pulled out this charger and checked the voltage. Just over 10 volts. Truck wouldn't start. Which was correct? I don't want it to be the starter. I left this charger hooked up to his battery and punched the 'engine start' button. Ninety seconds later I had him give it a shot and the truck fired up. I guess the charger was the most accurate volt reading. My son went and bought a new battery. (He had to get to work and didn't have time to repair the battery - with this charger.)
This charger is and does what it claims. It will charge that AGM Optima. It will repair many worn out batteries, even though it does take a day or two, and that can save you a couple of hundred $$$. (Nothing can repair all worn out batteries.) The engine start capability works flawlessly. The alternator check function works great although it doesn't check the built in voltage regulator. Just a fact.
Of course, this same charger is available under different brands with the only difference being the color and the name stamped on the front. Just find the best price and get it.
July 2020 update: From five stars down to two.
I only paid $60 for the 25 amp charger and I guess I got my monies worth. It worked great while it lasted, but after a year and a half it's useless now. I guess I was more fortunate than most people. When I check a batteries voltage the charger can't seem to make up its mind as I watch the value go up and down. No matter what voltage a battery has, when I try to charge then the charger immediately goes in to FLO mode. Engine start just goes into FLO mode too. Recondition is the only thing that seems to work anymore and I'm not sure about that.
I did have another brand of 'smart' charger that I had to return immediately as it just didn't work. Now, no more Stanley's for me. I don't want a 'smart' charger at all anymore. Can't someone market a 'dumb' charger that will charge AGM batteries?
It's been a few days since I wrote this review. The battery remains very strong, cranking the engine with no hesitation or apparent weakness. I even let it sit for a couple of days, and it started the car just fine.
One thing I did was run a parasitic voltage draw diagnostic using my newly purchased Cen-Tech 11-Function Digital Multimeter. See my review here: https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/ROQ653VILI1JM/ref=cm_cr_getr_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B0063M80Z6.
I am happy to report that there was very little amperage being drawn from the battery with everything off, way below the 50ma recommended upper limit.
Back to the battery: I believe the recondition mode with this Stanley battery charger is what did the trick. I highly recommend having this puppy among your garage tool collection.
===========================================================================
A less-that-two-year-old battery died on me because I was driving the vehicle only occasionally -- mostly just shuffling it around in the driveway. The longest time most recently without starting the car was about two weeks. That was the end of the battery.
Since I figured that a fairly newish battery should still be recoverable I decided to see if I could bring it back to life. My search led me to this Stanley BC25BS battery charger.
After some false starts, which I will explain momentarily, I finally have the FLO message showing. It remains to be seen if the battery is fully recovered, or only partially and still needing replacement. I'll followup here when I see which it will be.
OK. At the first attempt hooking the cables to the battery and chassis and turning on the unit the needle pegged on 100%, and it indicated FLO. I knew that wasn't right because I was starting with a dead battery.
Then I tried the Car Start mode. No help there.
After reading reviews here and on YouTube I decided I needed to give the battery a little boost so it would have the 2 volt minimum required by this smart charger. I got the car started by jumping it from one of our other vehicles, and ran it for about an hour to give the battery a little bit of charge.
Having done that, I hooked the charger up again and selected "Charge." It would charge for a minute or so, and then default to error, with no lines going from the cables icon to the battery icon. I tried it a few more times, but it would not keep charging.
I then tried the "Battery Recondition" mode. Same thing. It would run for a minute or so and then quit.
I finally tried really squeezing down and grinding the sharp teeth on the cable connections to the battery pos terminal and the spot where I had it grounded. As they say in France, "Voila!"
I got a good recondition, and then a good charge and it is now in FLO mode. The lesson here is make darn sure that your connections are solid.
I like this unit. I've got an old analog, dumb charger that's always scared me to use because it had no safety features whatsoever. I have a lot of confidence using this unit, and believe it will bring back to life and charge up any battery that is not so far gone nothing will help.

Conclusion: Without Stanley Maintainer I would have bought then a new battery and now probably another new one already. So far investing some 100$ I saved hundreds of $ on at least 2 batteries and by this contributed also to the environment by avoiding consuming new ones. I highly recommend to have this device. It incredibly helping maintain and test the battery, check its voltage instantly (and test the car alternator if it gives enough power to properly charge the battery). Powerful tool yet as simple as pressing 5 buttons. Must have!
El equipo también cuenta con una función para verificar si el alternador está en buenas condiciones.
También funciona para reacondicionar y mantener baterías.
Si lo utilizas para uso doméstico, es una excelente opción. En caso de que pretendas darle uso comercial, hay una versión de apariencia idéntica pero de mayor amperaje.
Es un excelente equipo; sin lugar a dudas lo recomiendo.
