About Foval Automatic Trickle Battery Charger 12V 1000mA Smart Battery Charger
Overall Feedback:
93% positive
72% were satisfied with the input voltage range, but 28% disagreed
The user tested the charger on a 12V automotive battery that was down to around 12.5V. The volt meter immediately indicated a trickle charge was in process. The voltage was checked a couple of days later and it was steady at 14.4 as it should be.
The user expected the voltage to be slightly over 13 volts, but it was not.
The user mentioned that he can't fully charge his batteries as he can't set the charge voltage. He also mentioned that he has to use a cheaper trickle charger to bring it to the higher 13.8v that he is looking for.
The user mentioned that the voltage of the charger shows jumping numbers from 180mV to 350mV when tested.

82% were impressed with the fast charging speed, while 18% weren't
The user mentioned that the charger can charge the battery for a couple of days without worrying about overcharging as the maximum charge current is only 1000 milliamps (1 amp).
The user mentioned that the charger has a charging rate of 1amp, which is between his other chargers of 750mA and 1.25amp.
The reviewer mentioned that the charger can charge a discharged battery fairly quickly (5-20 hours depending on battery size and how dead it is) at a rate of 1-amp-hour. This shows that the user has used the charger and has faced this problem personally. Thus, it can be said that user has commeted that based on his experience. So, it is experience-rich snippet.
The battery charger took 24 hours to charge the battery to 8.5V, 2 days to charge it to 12.5V, and 3 days to fully charge it, after which the charger lighted up green.
