Pulse Tech XC2 Xtreme Charge 12 Volt Dual Station Battery Charger

First of all it will not charge a dead battery battery must have at least 7 volts, which only means you have to put your battery on a standard charger for an hour or so and then put this charger on.

Second it states it is supposed to desulfate batteries / restore them I have yet to confirm this after charging 7 different batteries

third for some reason it does not like interstate batteries I tried 2 of them and it would not work on them unless I went through a few differnent steps

forth I tried 2 different dry cell batteries would not charge either on

fifth on deep cycle batties it took over 7 days to charge it up after a full charge I put it back on a week later and showed only a 50% charge

It might be fine for maintaining batteries and I like the fact I can charge 2 batteries at the same time would I buy it again no. The reason is I wanted a charger that would desulfate my batteries and this one does not perform that function, or at least to my satisfaction. I was trying to avoid spending big money but you get what you pay for.

I would not recommend this charger unless you just wanted a trickle charger

I was going to give it 3 stars but after reading my review I knocked it down to 2 just does not messure up to the ad hipe. If only if worked half as good as it sounded

update: 1/17/13 product states 14+ volts but only charges up to 13. I have tried 6 different batteries and it has not worked an any of them. As soon as I put them in my truck they went dead. The starter would not even ingage. This charger brings them up to what it calls a full charge but when I put on my Yuasa YUA1200901 Smart Shot Battery Charger it says they are not fully charged. I will be using my Smart charger on the 6 batteries that this charger would not charge and see if there is a difference. I will update this review in 3 days
