This is easily one of the best battery chargers around for consumer trucks and autos. It automatically checks the condition and type of battery and adjusts the charging cycle accordingly. These are very well made; a quality case and good clamps and cables. They LED displays are eimple to interpret (just read the instructions!). It's also gret thtat it can charge such a range of battery types from Gel Cells to standard Lead Acid. Considering it's power the case is not very large and you can easily store this in a closet or average shop shelf.

Original review from early 2011, purchased july of 2010:Perfect all around charger for all automotive batteries. Don't let the low amp rating fool you it'll charge your battery -correctlyfaster than you might think.
I did have problems getting it to charge a completely flat battery, had to start the charge with my traditional charger first to get it going, then switched over once it registered any voltage.
Con: Clamps are a bit small, and difficult to fit over battery terminals.
Oh, and don't expect it to jump start you. :)
Updated Feb 2012:
Now that the charger is dead, I'm less happy with it. Instead of charging, it appears to be internally shorted so when it's plugged in and says its charging, it actually discharges the battery (leaving you with a very hot and very deeply discharged hunk of lead, instead). Since it's outside of it's 1 year warranty, guess it's time for the recycle pile. :(
