After much contemplation and research,,, and calling the manufacturer I've been informed (buy the manufacturer) that this unit does NOT have any method of charge control. Beware! ... you can easily overcharge your battery(s) with this unit. Overcharging can cause serious irreparable damage to your battery. Therefore, unless you're continually monitoring the charge state, and can disconnect this charger at the appropriate point, you need to use a charger that incorporates a charge controller. Don't use this unit as a "connect it and forget it" method of keeping your batteries charged or "topped off". You need something that has a charge controller. 73.UPDATE: In response to other comments; yes, if you're charging (maintaining) large capacity batteries such as automotive or marine, a controller may be unnecessary. Caution due however with smaller batteries.

The charger works as advertised. The only thing I found lacking was a status light indicating that current was flowing to the battery when plugged into the cigarette lighter. I had to use a multimeter to check contacts at outputs for voltage - 19.2 volts. It appears well made, price is reasonable, and shipping was speedy.
