UPG D1724 Sealed Lead Acid Battery Charger (6V/12V Switchable Single-Stage With Alligator Clips)

I bought this to recharge the battery I have for my FIOS installation. It extends the life of my FIOS battery. I bought a ExpertPower 12V rechargeable battery in March 2018 to replace the previous one that had died. At the same time I bought this charger. In April 2019 the FIOS box in the garage started that annoying chirp, which drives one of my dogs crazy btw. So I pulled out the battery and pressed the button to silence the chirp. I connected the battery to the charger and let it charge for 24 hours. That was about 2 weeks ago. The garage is silent, the dog is calm and my wife is happy. This was my first time to use this charger. I will update the review when the FIOS starts chirping next to report how long the charge lasted and how effective the second recharge is. I paid $19.99 for the battery and $8.86 for the charger so I’m about $10 ahead so far. UPDATE: October 2019 the beep came back. So I got about 6 months out of the charge. Pulled the batter and put it back on the charge for about 24 hours. Put the battery back in. No beep. SECOND UPDATE: The second charge only lasted two months. I put the battery on the charger overnight and put it back in the FIOS box and everything is working fine but I think it is time to replace the battery. My conclusion is that I spent less than $9 to extend the life of my battery by about a year. The fact that the charge hasn't lasted longer could be on the battery or it could be on the charger. Either way, I feel like the charge is paying for itself and that's the reason I bought it.

I purchased an Omnibot robot that didn't come with the charger...or battery. I purchased a battery but had no way to charge it, until I found this. It charges my robot's batteries at night so that he can function during the day. It works really well and truth be told, charges the robot battery fairly quickly. It's not just for the Omnibot battery, it can be used in an array of other things as well.

Todays date: 1/7/2 : I only gave it three stars for now because it works fine. It charges. It only puts out about 12.8 volts so it shouldn't over charge the battery but we'll see. I'm going to leave it on for a few days to see how it goes. I'll update this reivew at that time. As of now I like it and would buy it again. It gets warm to the touch but just barely. Not hot. After it's been plugged in for a few days I'll know more about it. Stay tuned. 1/9/12: well I still like this charger and I raised my star rating to a 4. I'm using it on a 12 volt toy car battery. The kind that kids ride around in. When I was a kid the rich kids had peddle cars. Oh well. I'm using the little battery to charge my helicopters. Works great. I think you can buy them here on Amazon. Anyways i like the new charger and would buy it again if need be.

La compré hace bastante tiempo y hasta el día de hoy la sigo usando, me salió buena

Bought this along with a rechargeable battery for a Verizon backup unit.It came before the battery did and on time.the only con with this is the alligator clips. The insulation is loose fitting and moves around when trying to squeeze the clips open to install on battery.. Took a while of trying to get them on as because only squeezing them is hard and the insulation rolls sideways when trying to place on Battery male spade connectors on the battery, But once you get them on no problem battery charges. Also should have been made with female to male coupling, and have a spade connector for spade connections on batteries and another spade connector with alligator clips that do not have loose fitting insulation on the clips.. That is why the 3 stars for the difficulty ofhooking up.

Will buy again

Having this charger for over 2 years and have charged my 3 Fios 12v batts numerous times over the years, I recommend this charger as it has met my needs. No, you can't charge a car/motorcycle batt. with it, cause it's not strong enough. You need to spend more to meet that need. This $10 charger is a device used to put energy into a secondary cell or rechargeable battery by forcing an electrical current through it. Yes, it has no indicator to signal a fully charged battery. You will find that on more expensive models. Charging overnight works for me. I have saved much money but not having to buy replacement batteries each time one goes "dead". I purposely choose this one for he price as most people have.

I bought this as a replacement charger for a motion trends power wheels car. It worked fine to charge the battery, however, we had other issues with the car itself. Good thing I only spent a few bucks on this charger and didn't buy the original which is much more. The only thing I would've like to see on this was an automatic shut off when charging is complete. Seeing as though its just a cheap charger though I was ok with it not having that feature.

Its not made for india because it required 110v AC supply. So please dont buy

Me costo conseguirla, pero es lo que estaba buscando

I used this item to charge a 7 amp hour 12 volt sealed lead acid battery and let it charge for 14 hours ( I used a charge time calculator app for Android). The battery was definitely charged and I tested it by hooking it up to a 400 watt digital power inverter and ran a tabletop fan with it for a while. I recommend this if you are looking for a simple charger for a low price.

No carg la bateria y con el voltimetro no marca que pase corriente, asi que no sirve.

Exactly what I was looking for
