5A Car Battery Charger

These battery chargers are an excellent value among. I've owned brand name versions of battery chargers like this in the past and found the Mroinge chargers to offer superior features, build quality, and so far (2 months of use at the time of this review), durability.The charger has a very usable lcd display that shows charge level, charging mode, and voltage. The charger works on 6v, 12v lithium and lead batteries and includes a couple of cables w connectors and terminal clips that are of better than basic quality.The chargers are priced very competitively to the brand name (OEM'd) charges available at the big box stores. That's where I bought my old chargers from previously, both of which don't work any more.I am very satisfied with my Mroinge chargers, I'm sure these same chargers are OEM'd to brand name companies as well. Now to see how long they last.

Works perfect keeping my Ford Transit Cargo Van 250 charged up when camping/stationary for 2+ days. Transits have this flaw with cargo lights flashing intermittently, draining battery after 3-4 days. After needing 4 jumpstarts, this was BEST PRICED trickle charger...Well worth the money!

I bought a Noco Genius 5 about the same time I bought this Mroinge charger. The Genius 5 is a good charger, but I prefer this one. I live off grid and use 12v deep cycle marine batteries to supply power for my computer and satellite internet during the hours when my solar panels aren't producing power. I use this and the Genius 5 to keep the batteries charged, pretty much on a daily basis. The Genius 5 will frequently have a fault before fully charging a battery, requiring me to unplug it, wait a bit and then plug it back in. The Mroinge has never showed any sort of fault or malfunction. It just works perfectly every time. I use this charger as much as I can and reserve the Noco only for when I have enough discharged batteries that I need to run two chargers at the same time.The display on the Genius 5 is a few colored LEDs that are either steady or blinking, depending on the status. It's adequate for getting the job done. The display on the Mroinge is a liquid crystal display screen which is far more user friendly and conveys far more information than you get from LEDs.The Mroinge has a de-sulfate process it goes through at the beginning of the charge cycle which extends the life of lead acid batteries. You can see it going through the process on the LCD screen as it does it. If the Genius 5 has a de-sulfate step in its charge process they are keeping it a secret, because the LEDs don't show it and there is nothing in their literature that mentions it.The Genius 5 does have a battery recovery mode that the Mroinge doesn't have. I only have experience with this mode using it on one older mostly worn out battery. All I can say is that it didn't work to bring the battery back to life or even extend the use of it. If anything it was the death blow. That may be an important feature for some people. I thought it would be for me, but so far it hasn't delivered any positive results.At less than half the price of the Noco you can't go wrong with this charger. If I could go back and do it over again, knowing what I know now I would have bought two of these and skipped the Noco.

My ailing 22-month old battery with a 36-month warranty is having trouble holding it's charge. This unit went through the 7 charge cycles and brought the voltage to 12.97 volts when tested with a car battery tester. But the the battery still doesn't hold a charge even when isolated from the car. Advance Auto parts have left the west coast so I've no warranty now.

Owned since Dec 2020. Has worked flawless for charging my various lead acid and AGM batteries. Used 1-3 times per week for the last 4+ years. Had another brand before this that only lasted a year under the same usage. Very happy. Also cost half the price.

I originally bought this charger after I had restored and upgraded an old Power Wheels car with a LiFePO4 battery. I have since used this to bring a dead truck battery back to life enough to get it started and to an auto parts store, topping off a lawn mower & four wheeler, and a couple of other battery powered toys. It has worked flawlessly in all charge modes. The screen displays all relevant info in an any easy to understand manner, and switching modes is also simple & intuitive.If you have miscellaneous 6/12V batteries that need occasionally topped off, or regularly recharged, then I highly recommend this product for you!All that said, this is not powerful enough to boost a totally depleted battery, nor would I expect it to be. They also don't advertise it for that purpose. For that you'd need a much more powerful charger with a boost mode or a specialized jump starter.

Seems to work the way it is suppose to.Seem like you have to click the button twice to go to the next mode.

I got 1 of these and liked it so much, I got another. Had them for a while now and still work great.
