(More customer reviews)This B&D charger uses a switching power supply which makes it quite light. The inside of this charger contains almost nothing... just a fan and a circuit board; the large outside dimensions are retained to remind people this charger is just as powerful as its big and heavy cousins. Some of that volume is used for cord and clamp storage.
This battery charger is different from most battery chargers you have ever used. Most old school chargers are built around a big iron line transformer attached to a diode bridge. Those designs rely on the voltage drop in the transformer and diodes to "current limit" the charge... but they really do a marginal job of it.
The B&D charger uses high frequency switching electronics and a tiny, tiny transformer. Unlike like "old iron" chargers, the current is actively regulated to a precise point until the battery voltage rises to where the charger switches to constant voltage mode. This allows you to charge at a maximum safe rate even as the battery voltage rises. The charge rate in amps is always displayed on a two digit LED display.
A caution: The 25 amp range is too high for charging a gas automobile battery if you wish the longest possible lifetime for your battery. Always use 10 amps if you are not in a hurry. 25 amps is good for the impatient, golf carts, deep cycle batteries, and diesel batteries.
This charger does not spark when you connect the clamps... even if you hook them up backward! Current only flows once the charger is satisfied that it is connected to a battery.
This is the best designed and most innovative battery charger I have seen. And the price is right too!
