STANLEY BC25BS Smart 12V Battery Charger for Car/Marine Charging

The product is of poor quantity and didn't lastnfor a month. It's switching on but doesn't charge the battery as intended.

I followed the instructions and I am 100% sure that everything was perfectly fine, I even bought an electric alternator from 220 volts to 110 volts o operate this trash. When I plugged in the battery to charge it, it automatically switched to battery reconditioning mode, after like 10 minutes it blew up with white smoke. What a crappy product.

I checked the time needed to receive it so it told me it will reach next day. Having said so, I assumed it is UAE electricity specs. Apparently not.

This one works on 110Vac input. Was not mentioned

After connecting product found not even operational. No display noting. Didn't expected such quality from STANLEY.

So can not say much

الذى احببته فى المنتج انه يتمتع بمواصفات امان جيدة جدا ومناسب للاستعمال المنزلى بالفعل بالاضافة الى الوزن المناسب له.-الذى لم احبه بالفعل فى المنتج هو ان جهد التيار الداخل الى المنتج 120 فولت تيار متردد وهذا لايتوافق مطلقا مع جهد التيار بدولة الامارات العربية المتحدة 220 فولت. فكان يجب على على المستورد ان يراعى جيدا تلك الملاحظة المهمة.

Estaba probando su funcionamiento con varias baterías, funciona muy bien, es resistente y efectivo. Muy buen precio.

الجهاز تالف ولا يعمل

Very disappointed as it was a Christmas present. Two pin plug, came from the USA and was not compatible with 240v, would require a transformer.

My Optima battery requires a special charger. Very expensive. This is the inexpensive option and it works great. I needed it as I had a parasitic drain that I hadn't been able to trace down. (I've since found and resolved the issue.) This charger will charge a battery that has lost it's charge down to nearly four volts. I've used the repair option and although it is not always successful on an old battery it has repaired batteries that we use for the electric driveway gate (regular 12 volt car batteries) and the lawn tractor.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?

Really, really like this charger. The display is easy to understand for anyone. I have a trickle charger but there is no display on it so rather hard to figure out 'where its at'. This one tells me if I've got it hooked up properly, when the battery is fully charged, etc. I work very close to home so in winter - which goes as low as -40c overnight here - its hard to keep the battery in my car fully charged. Plus I rarely go out on the weekends. Now if the temperature is going into the -20's for the weekend I pop this on my car and leave it on all weekend worry free since it goes to FLO mode once charged. One of the best purchases I have ever made.UPDATE Jan. 14, 2022. Almost 2 years later, charger is still working fine. It gets a lot of use in the winter for about a month or so when the temperature really drops. Still keeps my old Impala going. Touch wood that it keeps it up for a long time to come.Just a note, when its really really cold (tonight it is going to -37C here) don't leave it in the care, have it in the house. For the first time tonight it took it a minute or two to start up and I'm pretty sure it's just that it had been sitting in the back seat and was just so darn cold.
