Poorly Constructed This battery charger is much better than a standard manual charger in so much as it properly charges a battery through stages. It will not charge a battery that is "dead" without faulting. Best to give your battery a boost from a manual charger, then switch over to the Smart charger. The battery clamps are very poorly made and will easily break. Replacement parts are not available through the manufacturer.
Battery conditioning restored my dead battery - Paid for its self. I bought this device when I accidentally killed the battery on my SUV. I left the dome light on (for days) and it eventually killed the battery. When I tried to recharge the battery it just didn;t want to take a decent charge. I did some research (I am an engineer by trade) and found out about battery sulphate formation. This charger has a battery conditioning mode which is basically a desulphate cycle and it works. I charged the battery, ran the conditioning cycle a few times on the battery (it takes... more info
My VEC1093 has worked great since April 2004 I bought this on April 12, 2004. I've used it a lot for my RV battery bank recharging. I don't know how others are using their chargers but I cannot figure out how they are breaking the clamps. They are heavy plastic and seem tough enough to me. They have been for over 4 years of regular use. I'll definitely get another one if needed but at this rate I don't think I'll need to replace it for quite a while. I do keep it in the original box between uses and I don't throw it around or let it bang around in the... more info
Get modern technology Compared to earlier generation chargers that used transformers, there is no comparison. Switching power supplies are vastly lighter, cheaper and more powerful. They are what you want. The main downside of this charger is slightly cheap parts, the noise of the fan, and sometimes being "too smart" for its own good. For example a totally discharged battery will not charge on it, you have to give it a boost with an old charger so that it generates enough voltage for the Vector to accept that it's there.
