MP00205A 12V 800mA [Junior]

This trickle charger was worth the price. It did exactly what I needed. Instructions were simple. Great features and easy to use. It was compatible with my car battery and my lawnmower garden tractor. The size is perfect. Very functional for if I need to leave it on for extended time. Will recommend it to others.

I own several of these -- they are used on vehicles that don't get used during the winter like my classic car, my pickup, and a couple of tractors. They keep the batteries charged up and work great -- helping maintain battery health, and avoiding having to recharge dead batteries. They are portable, high quality, safe, easy to connect, and very sturdy. The display quality is ordinarily very easy to read, but the green indicator lights on two I recently bought did not work. The sellers replaced them within several hours -- I highly recommend!

Works just fine for such a low price. Easy to use. Nice to have connection options.

it's been plugged in for a week now, everything working great. I keep 2 car batteries charged in my garage to use with a inverter if needed. it's small and came with all parts needed. the clamps for battery posts are very strong and hold tight, was actually surprised, other chargers I've had weren't that strong. the only thing keeping this from the 5th star is the power cord, its short, very short, I didn't measure but I'm guessing less than 14 inches. receptacles in my garage are 40 inches high, so there it dangles like a Christmas ornament. probably perfect for under a car hood tho.

Just what I needed. It's small and light, but does the job. I would recommend it.

My bike battery didn’t have enough juice to start up after this winter and the trickle charger I previously bought I could hook up correctly so I bought this… Best choice I’ve made at an amazing price!! Fully restored my battery! Testing it out now on the tractor battery that had to be jumped every use last summer so fingers crossed!

This is the first time I have used a trickle charger and it was so easy to connect a child could do it. It is constantly keeping my battery charged up. The light turns green when fully charged and then turns red when it the battery needs a little slow charge - which is the best way to charge a car battery. Love it

Update 22 June 2024: five down to three was too harsh. It was extremely inexpensive and served well for four years. After searching (endlessly) for an appropriate replacement, I ended up buying another MotoPower unit - their 1.5a version. I figure a device with a little more heft probably won't generate as much heat as this one did, so may last even longer; and it was barely more than what I paid for the first one! Update 19 June 2024: After almost exactly four years in service, The charger died. Wife smelled the acrid scent of burnt out electronics and alerted me to it. It was in use daily for all four years. A while after the narrative below, I had set up a Raspberry Pi to monitor the battery voltage and turn this on when it reached a certain threshold - the backend story is the 2018 Honda Accord has a nasty parasitic draw problem, so it was necessary to alway have it monitored and charged cyclicly. So it was powered on and off from a few times to maybe ten times a day. However, a charger like this is _not_ a complex device; exactly four years of service strikes me as 'planned obsolescence'. So I'm dropping the rating from five stars to three stars. It is not hard to build simple electronics to last decades. There's just no good excuse for a short life - other than to 'encourage' a new purchase. Here's my tale: After a couple of months of driving my car barely once a week during the COVID-19 isolation orders, my 2018 Honda Accord wouldn't start. Tried a jump start from wife's 2002 Honda Civic - still no go. yikes! Got out the decent quality multi-meter I have - less than 8 volts, from a 12V battery. Double yikes! Checked the electrolyte - whoa, one of the six cells had exposed plates. Well, that fairly well explains the very low volts. Topped it up to the line, then tried jump start again...yep, triple yikes. Well, I had plenty of time on my hands being furloughed, so I ordered this little unit. Inexpensive, but it made appropriate promises for what it can do, for what it costs. Ratings good. Some horrible though. Took the chance. At 800mA, this is not going to charge a 500Ah car battery quickly. I hooked it up and monitored the voltage for several days. Weather was rather warm, 80's to 90's F, and I noticed this little device getting pretty darned hot - too hot, in fact. Disconnected it and took off the back plate. Board very hot to touch, capacitor and transformer too hot to touch. Bad design! This thing needs to either be potted with a non-conductive heat sink material for full contact with the inside of the case, or the case needs vents. Period. That much heat will toast those components over time. True - I was asking the device for all it had - to charge a pretty deeply discharged 12V high amp capacity battery. Which isn't _per se_ its intended function. Still though. I decided to DIY. Took a drill and drilled four holes in the back plate, and two holes on each side, see photos. Pretty? Not on your life. Crude but fairly effective? Yes indeed, at least, it allowed _some_ of that heat to dissipate. Eventually there was enough charge to start the car, took it for a long drive, then hooked it up again to see if it would complete the full cycle - which it did after another day. It eventually hit the couple of voltage marks to go into absorption mode, then into float mode. Highly accurate too - 14.19v - still absorption mode. 14.20v - boom, float mode. Repeatable. For twenty bucks, it did what I wanted - and most importantly, what I _expected_ - unlike some of the reviews that complain it took days to charge their battery...well duh! It puts out less than an amp, expecting a fast charge from a slow charge device is just....dumb. That said - please guys - make the 'slotted' sides into real slots, to let some air flow through it. I realize it adds a little to the manufacturing costs, but people will get a longer life out of their (admittedly tiny) investment in this - and maybe fewer will die out in the field, eliciting bad reviews. As for me, I'm very happy with it - because it met my expectations.

سهل الاستخدام، يعمل بصورة جيدة. استخدمته على سيارة بي ام التي استخدمها لفترات متباعدة. فحافظ على البطارية دون رسائل انخفاض الشحن التي تظهر على شاشة السيارة. المهم يتوصل بالطريقة الصحيحة. حتى لا تتاثر إلكترونيات السيارة.

Compact Works perfectly Easy Clear instruction Recommend for all

Works great. I purchased a battery from Costco with manufacturing date 6 month ago. ChatGPT suggested that it should be fully charged before installing otherwise it may shorten the battery life. I purchased this charger and charged it for a few hours till the voltage is high enough. It never reached to a full charge though as the light has blinked (trickle charge) for hours as opposed to static (fully charged). Overall very pleased. It can also be used for jumping start if battery dies.

Son totalmente originales, funcionan muy bien para hacer una carga lenta a alguna bateria, lo cual puede ayudar a mantener la salud de la bateria, y como mantenedor de baterias funciona muy bien, siendo compacto no ocupa espacio y permite tener bien si se almacenan las baterias. Muy recomendable calidad precio

Great product. Very good quality for the cost and delivery was quick for my part of the world.
