HULKMAN Sigma 1 Car Battery Charger - 1A 6V/12V Automatic Smart Trickle Charger, Battery Maintainer, and Desulfator with Intelligent Interface

Due to long periods of neglect my battery went to levels I didn't know were possible (3.7v). So, it came down to the point where a jump-start was required every single time I shut off my car as that would jolt the voltage high enough to switch over to my 2 aux batteries, with the length of time increasing every time.The 'repair' function didn't do anything other than beep and tell me the battery is funked, but did raise the voltage to 5.29v although it took 48-51 hrs. On the bright side, it seemed to stop drawing power to attempt charging once it threw up the warning of not holding a charge, but drew enough power to beep until the end of time. So, that's a cool feature. At least it seems to know when it's doing something that is inefficiently working, where any continuation won't do anyone any good and stop itself. "smart" charger for sure.Since the intended use for this product it's low-amp trickle charging and not the "repair" mode, I popped off the battery caps and refilled each one with distilled water mixed with a dash of epsom salt, clamped the correct battery posts, set mode to normal (the first one), confirmed current output (~1.5A) from power source, and prayed that this works or look stubbornly stupid.A day and a half later, the battery measured 12.1v.More importantly, even though there's some hesitation, the car turns on by itself!After charging 2-3 times overnight, the battery seems fully grown (12.9v) and has had no problems turning over with voltage holding around 14.1-14.3 , occasionally dropping to as low as 13.5 if I'm running electronics that suck a lot like headlights, the sound system, 10A charger for generator, 2A charger for phone, etcBut even when put under that much stress at any speed, there's no headlights dimming, car rumbling down, head banging on steering wheel so yahtzee! it works!I'm not sure if this speaks to the quality of the charger or the battery for bringing it back from the point most people (including the 'repair mode' message) would buy a new battery-which isn't wrong by any means.I would've bought a new battery myself if I didn't have to choose between that and food. Damn cheese is expensive.But thanks to the quality products offered by HULKMAN and battery by Dyno (yay USA), you made it possible for me to have my cake and eat it too. Even though there are countless other companies that I could've chosen, it seems I made the right call choosing you [pikachu]!Thanks HULKMAN (somewhere on earth, probably China) and Dyno Battery (Seattle, WA).

I bought two of these chargers, one for my golf cart and one for my car. I am so glad I did.Both of my vehicles are not driven very often, so my batteries have completely discharged more than once, and ultimately always needed replacement. I purchased these for a really good price, so it was worth a try, score biting the bullet and buy new batteries yet again.They are really easy to use, and you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to make them work. The battery clamps are easy to attach, which is a big plus for me. I suffer from RA, and this has caused some stiffness in my hands, and loss of strength. You really don’t need a lot of strength to put these clamps on the battery terminals. It’s as easy as pie, so to speak ;-)I put the setting on them on 12V repair mode first, and let them do its work for several hours, before trying to start my vehicles. The car and the golf cart both, started immediately and without problems, after the chargers had cycled through the repair mode, and now I leave them on my vehicles permanently to trickle charge, when they are not in use.This was a really good purchase that saved me money and a lot of headaches. I highly recommend this product.
