This battery maintainer is charger built to maintain and prolong the life of your lead acid battery (no lifePO4 mode unfortunately). It is solidly built and uses heavy duty cabling and cords far more substantial than you would expect for a low power unit. It is built to last and looks like it will survive knocking about in the garage. It doesn’t have a display, just two LEDs, so it is hard to tell what mode it is in, but it does the job. It automatically cycles between the charge stages to keep the battery capable of holding the best charge possible for it. This charger is great for hooking up to a vehicle that you don’t drive much, or has a high self discharge rate (like some Corvettes) due to onboard electronics that run even when the vehicle is off. There are two things that I would like to see changed. First, a better display that shows the mode it is and the voltage of the battery would be helpful. Second, most small maintainers these days also handle lifePO4 batteries and it would be nice if this one did also. But, as a dedicated battery maintainer for most vehicles, it does the job. It will make a good addition to my garage.

so I’ve been using this to charge my sealed lead acid battery back up for a E bike I am working on and it works fine for that. I haven’t tried to measure current or anything but you hook it up and there’s a little red light that turns green when it is charging and it’s easy to use. it’s small, comes with both alligator clips and a hardwire option. the output of the charger has a little plug so you just leave the hardwire option wired to the battery and use that plug to connect and disconnect the charger. at least, that is how i am planning to use this long term. i might end up leaving the whole unit plugged in and just use the wall plug as the on/off method of charging.
Anyway, i’m giving this 3 stars because it does say “All 12V Lead Acid Batteries of Cars, Motorcycles and ATV. Also for Deep Cycle Batteries.” in the title which is kind of ambiguous because deep cycle these days include Lithium batteries / LiFePo4. AGM (which is what i am using) is also deep cycle, and yes it does charge it because it’s still a lead acid battery. the box (and you can check the listing photos and see it, in the bottom middle) says “& Lithium!” with a picture of both a lead acid labeled battery and a LiFePo4 labeled battery. all of this together i assumed this could also charge Lithium batteries. Nope, not according to the manual that comes inside the box: Charge only LEAD ACID batteries (traditional, VRLA, MF, AGM, GEL, Ca/Ca, etc) which specifically means, Don’t use lithium.
Now, I didn’t try lithium batteries on it because of that. It might work, the box says it does, but i’d rather not know then blow up a battery or something to find out. Fix your marketing, it either works with Lithium or it Doesn’t.

This is NOT a high output, charge as fast as you can battery charger. Slow charging is much better for long battery life and this intelligent battery management system does that to maintain and prolong the life of your battery. This a 0.9 amp (slow) device that will (1) analyze your battery’s condition, (2) do a slow initial charge (if your battery is severely discharged) to prepare your battery for “normal/faster” charging, then (3) bulk (maximum amperage) charging until the battery is fully charged. Then (4) intelligently maintain your battery in an optional condition for long periods of time (often called float mode). So, this not a device used to start your car quickly when it is low, but it will slooooly charge and maintain your battery for months or years of disuse. It’s ideal for keeping an RV battery charged as well as the car you left in the garage while you are away in your RV.

I like that this can be left on a battery essentially forever and the description clearly states that so there is no doubt in my mind. This is a simple “connect and forget” device. There are no settings to adjust so you can’t change anything even if you wanted to. The down side to that is that this only works for 12V lead acid batteries, although it automatically detects and charges traditional, MF, VRLA, Gel, or AGM batteries.
What I don’t like, and really upsets me, are the cheap alligator clamps included with the device. I struggled to get what I felt was a secure connection on the battery in my zero turn lawn mower. The clamps don’t open very wide (they’re on the small side) and the spring isn’t particularly strong. This is not the only charger that has had crappy clamps. Why is that??? The clamps have to be one of the cheapest parts of the device. Why would you take a good product and make the part most often handled remind the user that it is bad?
A related problem is that this comes with two ways to connect the charger to the battery, however, there is no way to replace these clamps with other clamps I have on hand because they use a proprietary connection on the wires between the charger and connectors. The set includes traditional alligator clamps as well as bolt on connectors that you would leave in place on the battery. You connect the charger to the tail on the bolt on connector when you want to charge the battery. So you choose whether to connect to the battery with clamps or just plug in to the permanent bolted on connectors. The problem with the leave-in-place connectors is that there is no cover for the plug that attaches to the charger wire. Since this would be going on a lawn mower, I definitely need a cover on anything staying in place during operation of the machine. Otherwise the connectors would get filthy and potentially cause a short.
Performance: Before I connected this, I used a battery tester to check the condition of my battery (see photos). I believe the battery is 2-3 years old. That showed:
Strength of Charge = 93%
Life = 57%
Voltage = 12.56V
Current (CCA) 257 A (on a battery rated for 340 CCA)
Resistance = 10.53 ohms
The tester gave a “Caution” rating based on those values.
I hooked the charger up and left it on for about 48 hours at which time the green light had changed from blinking to a steady glow. After that I tested it again using the same tester and got the following results. Immediately after removing the charger, the tester said the voltage was too high to test. After waiting about 24 hours I got the following:
Strength of Charge = 99%,
Life = 83%
Voltage = 12.76V,
Current (CCA) = 311 A
Resistance = 8.69 ohms.
The tester gave an “Ok” rating
So you can see that the tester definitely improved the performance and potentially the life of my battery.
The box the item came in and the User Manual both refer to other charger models made by this manufacturer. Looking at the specs for the different chargers gave me buyer’s remorse for getting the cheapest one. It may not affect performance, but the other models have other steps that the BC Easy4 doesn’t have. That makes me sad.
In summary, if you are looking for a set-and-forget charger for a 12 volt battery, this may work. It seems to charge batteries as expected. The battery may take some time to stabilize after charging. Unfortunately, the alligator clamps are not great which makes a pretty good product not great.
