Q: Will it charge a 6 and 12 volt lithium batteries?
3 months ago1 Answer
- A: Sealed Lead Acid batteries only.3 months agoHelpful?
Q: Does it give a constant 12v, or trickle charge and does it have to detect a battery
5 months ago1 Answer
- A: Hello, thank you for your question. The Universal Power Group 6V/12V Charger does not provide a constant 12 V output; it applies a higher charging voltage to push current into the battery. It is not a true trickle or maintenance charger, meaning it does not automatically taper or stop charging once the battery is full. Additionally, it does not detect the presence of a battery, it will begin supplying charge whenever it is plugged in and powered. Users need to monitor charging to avoid overcharging, as the unit lacks smart charging or automatic shutoff features.5 months agoHelpful?

Q: How do you know when the battery is charging and charged?
5 years ago1 Answer
- A: By time, it does not have an indicator so its the Ah of the battery divided by .5 amps times 1.3 equals your charge time. 5 Ah battery divided by .5 = 10 hours times 1.3 = 13 total hours. If your battery is 12.3 volts before charging it will be half that time.5 years agoHelpful?

5 years ago1 Answer
- A: 500 mA is half an amp.5 years agoHelpful?
Q: Will it charge a 18v battery
5 years ago1 Answer

Q: A person that buys this charger also has to buy a volt ohm meter to keep a check on the battery if that is the case one should be included with the charger or an indicator built in the charger
5 years ago1 Answer
- A: This is the difference with a single stage charger verse a multistage charger. Multistage chargers tell you when the charging is done. Time for charge is take the Ah divided by .5 times 1.3. 5 Ah battery would be 5/.5 = 10 times 1.3 = 13 hours.5 years agoHelpful?

Q: no charging indication,so how do i know the amount of time to charge my battery?
6 years ago1 Answer

4 out of 5 stars.
Works as it should but could is improvement.

Worked as it should. As others have mentioned it would be nice if there was an indicator light telling you when its done charging but for my purpose I just plug it in over night. The price was right and it works.

Worthless - no indicator, no shutoff
3 years ago
I just bought one for my 6v battery. Since it will just keep charging if you leave it on, and there is no indicator light when the battery is charged, or auto-shut off. It is absolutely worthless. The Q&A says to buy a volt meter. Sorry, nobody is going to do that. It was 29.00 too. Going right back to the store.

Poor Product

Does not have a charge status indicator light, warns you not to overcharge, and tells you to periodically check with a volt meter……give me a break. Disappointed in Tractor Supply for carrying this product. Piece of crap…..back to store it goes.
