Anyone ever use this one? >> click Good price and looks similar to the schumacher "xm1-5-ca" I've typically been using. It's bulky though and this B & D looks pretty compact.

Also nice it can be switched to 6v if you need it. I have Schumacher and Battery Tender brands. Have not used this one.

I gotta say I've used B&D battery maintenance products before and have always terrible luck with them. It seems to power tools by them are Pretty good as the ones I have have been working well. However for the price you can't really go wrong, plus if it does break fast you can get another free...

For battery maintenance I use a minnkota battery charger/trickler. Had it for 5-6 yrs. Used it mainly for charging the trolling motor batteries on the pontoon boat I used to use, now I use it for my scooter's/auto's and it works great, although I paid $80 for it.

I use the battery tender brand, I have the one set of leads permanently attached to the battery and just plug it in to the end that is always in the wall.

this fancy jobbie right here

I don't have a lithium battery so I haven't even bothered to look into the special unobtanium priced chargers that they require. For lead acid/AGM stuff though, this sh*t works great. I have one for the bike as well.

I've been using this schumacher for my front battery but can't close the hood all the way.
