With three different models to choose from, Bosch SmartCharge Battery Chargers suit the needs of the professional technician as well as the DIYer. Review: Lights and features. - I have a few other battery chargers/maintainers as well, and while this has more features than most of the bunch, it is not generous with its included accessories. Here are some thoughts, listed: - Bigger than I imagined, but on par with the others of similar amperage output. - Sort of odd shape makes a lot of sense when you add the hanger clip and hang it on your hood's locking mechanism. - Much more information (and more lights) on this thing than any of the others. Starts in standby mode, which makes sense. It tells you how charged the battery is while it's charging. - This one apparently has an automatic pulse feature that is better for charging deeply discharged batteries. - This one only comes with alligator clips. Most of the others also include ring terminals and/or a cigarette lighter charger. - This one has a proprietary connection, but also comes with an adapter to a normal 12V DC plug. Odd combination. Usually proprietary connections are to get you to buy (exclusively) their stuff, but in this case they give you an out by allowing you to convert to the DC plug. - If I just wanted a battery maintainer, a low output trickle charger is just fine. This one adds a bit of functionality with quicker charging (which did give a totally dead battery what it needed to just barely get a car started for me the other day), and a bunch of claims on smartness and greatness, with a lot of fancy lights to back it up. Somehow - being Bosch - I believe them, since they are well known for innovating designs and commanding knowledge of all things car- and tool-related. (hope I'm not getting soft, as this is perhaps one of the only times in life I'm not completely cynical). Anyway, it's a neat device that I'm happy to have around, and very useful. ...I do frequently use this and other trickle chargers to keep my batteries good while I'm away. Coming home to dead car batteries is no fun, and it happened to me a few times before I was clued in to such devices. Review: You will love this. - This is absolutely awesome. Easy to charge, easy to use. Compact and Handy. ## Features - Charges all 12V vehicle applications - Charging speed of up to 3.5A - 2 charging modes for flooded and AGM batteries - Equipped with full accessory package including removable clamps, quick connect harness, additional fuse, mounting hook and SAE adapter - Digital display.

This current draw occurred withthe battery at 12.93VDC. (NOTE: My husband is a BSEE.) **Q: Will this charger bring back a very dead car battery?** A: Not with the Bosch Basic 01896C1000 model. For a 12V auto or marine battery, The Smart Charge Basic (grey in color) will not charge if battery voltage has dropped below 6Volts. This is a real pain! Didn't realize boat's radio was left turned on, and over a few days my deep cycle battery was at about 3Volt. The charger has always worked great for topping off charge and maintaining, but never had to use for severely low voltage condition. Buried deep in the instructions that address "protection" features... it states charger will only stay in "stand-by" if battery voltage is below 6volt. So now I have to buy "dumb" charger to kick my battery up to +6Volts so I can use the Bosch "smart" charger again to maintain a full charge. NOT HAPPY. **Q: Hello, Is this charger for 120V or 240V?** A: This charger charges all 6V and 12V vehicle applications. If you want 12V and 24V you need the Bosch SCPRO. **Q: Will the Bosch Basic charger perform the "de-sulferization" that we hear about being an issue for batteries?** A: No ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Lights and features. *by M***E on March 6, 2017* I have a few other battery chargers/maintainers as well, and while this has more features than most of the bunch, it is not generous with its included accessories.
