Black & Decker BC40EWB 40 Amp High Frequency Battery Charger with Smart Interface Reviews
| 30 of 30 people found the following review helpful By This review is from: Black & Decker BC40EWB 40 Amp High Frequency Battery Charger with Smart Interface (Automotive) I studied up on this charger a bit before buying, as I have a lot of wheeled vehicles that always seem to have battery problems. I wanted something that would automatically shut down and prevent damage from overcharging. I wanted a charger that would quickly charge any size battery, even honking big golf car batteries. I also wanted a boost feature of at least 60A. Lastly, I didn't want to spend over $75.The B&D BC40EWB fits the bill. Although I've only had it a couple of weeks, it seems to work great on everything. It has a very slick charge routine. It somehow senses the optimum charge rate, charges, tapers off, tops off, and shuts down, all automatically. At first I thought the display was a gimmick, as I'm highly partial to a good analog volt meter and ammeter. Turns out I was mistaken. It really tells you what's going on in pretty plain English. The charger is so smart, and the program apparently so well written, it can handle most situations. Connect, set...

This is a big advancement over the big heavy roll around 40 amp chargers, being much more efficient, light weight, portable, and smart. It works well on a 1000 watt generator, putting out a true 40+ amps. If you have a large battery bank, this is the charger you want. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Black & Decker BC40EWB 40 Amp High Frequency Battery Charger with Smart Interface (Automotive) great charger for the money. a bit more automatic than i'd prefer but it works well. purchased two of them to use in tandem and alls fine EXCEPT that the cooling fans make a lot of noise and vibrate. solved the problem by disassembling down to the fan and lubricating the fans bearings, not something the non-tech person would be comfortable doing. advise to B&D, invest in better quality fans.followup: i've now had these chargers for over 6 months and they work great. the fans on both units needed lubrication, one of them twice but that always fixes the problem. i've reconditioned many batteries that i had in the recycle pile including one of those small 12 volt batteries from my remote control gate opener. i paralled it with a larger battery (as the charger cannot work on small batteries alone) and after 24 hours on the recondition setting it worked like a new battery. simply amazing. i've recommended this charger to many friends. |
