What features are you looking for in a battery charger/maintainer?
I just purchased this bc I live I TN and am afraid of getting stranded. Can I use this without plugging it in?? I have to go read the instructions b4 I need to use it.
@@PixieDusted72 A battery powered jump starter will start your can without being plugged in. This video features a charger, which is great for charging a dead battery, but won't help you if your stranded.
It also has a reconditioning feature which I'm using right now on an old lawn mower battery. So far it's working great for that.
Your video was the most helpful. Especially appreciate that you showed each step and different features not to mention your lighting was super almost all the time. It made it so easy to see what you were doing. Thank you!!!
Thank you, I appreciate the positive feedback! 🙌
I’m using mines for the first time this morning thank u i needed a help and u helped thank u. I’m sending my thank u from the U.S. Virgin Islands 🇻🇮 st thomas
Good info. Well done! Thanks
Thanks, glad to hear it's helpful.
Thank you, so will reconditioning save my battery if I think I might need to replace it?
It will likely give you some extra time before needing to replace it.
Thank you so much buddy!! Helped a lot!!
You're welcome!
Many Thanks! Does it tell you if you have a bad cell?
I just bought the Everstart version of this same charger. It is wanting to charge my battery to 15v. Isn't that way too high for a 12 battery?
That's a good question. I read online that a normal car battery can read between 12.6-14.4V. I'd have to find out more to see what the experts say about going to 15.
Many uses for bench tops (float charge, maintainer when working on vehicle) . I use mine to recharge my vehicles to 90 percent or greater when doing oil change and to re condition older batteries.
That's a great idea! I should check my vehicle and see how far it is from 90.
Thank you mr. That was a good 👍 video
Could you do a video showing the battery recond option i have this one and im currently using it but idk like what should be going on if its working correctly?
Sure, I can do that. It might be a 3 minute shorts video. Give me about a week to give it a try.
Probably a stupid question but I’m currently broke and having issues with my battery voltage being low. Probably an issue with my alternator but I’m waiting to have enough money to get the issue resolved. Can I use this to charge my battery once a day to get to work and back until I have enough to go to a mechanic?
I've been in that boat before, Edgar. I've actually done that for a few days where I charged my battery at night, drove the next day to work and parked next to an outlet. I charged it at work and drove home. I was able to make the 10 minute drive to work and home. Good luck with it.
yes
Not a stupid question, it's actually a very thoughtful question.
Best charger I have. 'and I have about 10 of them.'
Oh wow, that's good to hear. I'm using this charger tomorrow for a work vehicle that doesn't like the below 0 temps.
Is this Vector 15Amp battery charger mobile? Like what if I m somewhere where I can’t plug it in?
same question
Mark what should I check for on my Vector 1200 Amp booster pack my air compressor still does not work after replacing battery,just to back up ,battery kept losing charge and air compressor would not work,I had charged battery repeatedly thinking that would cure both problems
Do you have a portable battery jump starter that has a built-in compressor?
I always enjoy your posts. You do an eclectic variety of things. Thank you. Can you review an affordable benchtop wire wheel polisher/cleaner type device?
Thanks Beer Drinker, I have an older DeWalt one, but will take a look at some other brands and see what I can do. I found a nice one online from Jet, but the price is up there.
Does it have to be lugged up to use?
You have to plug it in to use it.
Do you think maybe it’s the cooling fan in the old charger maybe take the lid off and oil it up?
I'll have to give that a try with that zoom spout oiler used on turbines and fans. Thanks for the suggestion, hope it's easy top get open!
looks like the same manufacturing as the Duralast bc40dl. screen, right side buttons - except no "Charge" button on left side. has lithium / lead acid selection.
Up to how long should my battery be reconditioning? It's been at it for 2 or 3 days now
I haven't read the instruction on reconditioning lately, but I think it said it takes about 24 hours to do a reconditioning cycle and you can do up to 3 cycles to see if it's able to successfully recondition it. How old is your battery?
@MarkThomasBuilder about 3 years old. I let 2 of my batteries in cars and they died over winter. They didn't have any problems last year but the cars also don't run anymore.. I'll keep trying thanks for your help I really appreciate it
Same with mine. Today will be my 4th day of reconditioning. Very confusing. I might just take it out by the end of today.
Ты молодец. Всегда тебя смотрю
My car battery the meter shows me at zero % ! So I don’t know what does this mean
wait, i thought that car start mode had a timer so you had time to get in car and crank it..i have the black and decker modle and have been using it the way i explained it and its been startingy car
Yes, you push the engine start and go in the vehicle and start it before the countdown ends.
Can this feature be used without it being plugged in? The only reason I purchased this was for emergency circumstances where another vehicle wasn’t available to jump me.
@@PixieDusted72 Vector makes another product for that. I reviewed their largest battery powered jump starter. Here's the link... ruclips.net/video/n3LnUsVU88I/видео.html You can use this without it being plugged in.
Hey I have a question my battery died during a crank no start hooked this up to it overnight and it charged it when trying to crank car multi xs it died again and left dead for 4 days then brought battery in and put it back on this everstart pushed charge button and it switched itself to battery reconditioning so I left it for 2 days and when I push battery voltage button it says 1.2-1.9v but every time I press the charge button within a few seconds it keeps switching back to battery reconditioning mode do you know why it doesn't stay on charge mode.? PS the battery is only a yr or two old also mine is the everstart Maxx but everything is the same just different name
Could mean the battery is bad, try running the recondition mode up to 5 times and see if that resolves it
Below 3 volts is a battery that typically cannot be recovered
Use jumper cables and another running car to start the charge (~15min) this will get your voltage up enough to be meaningful. Then I would see if you can get it to start chraging. If not, recondition for 24h and see.
Thanks. Ernesto from Houston
Thanks for stopping by, Ernesto. Cheers!
thanks for showing and reviewing! really helped me out
Glad to hear it Rocky, thanks🙌
Thank you
You bet!
How do I set recondition mode to manual only I've had three of these Chargers all three of them gets stuck in recondition mode no matter how good the battery is they all eventually go bad and go to recondition mode even with a fully charged battery
I'm not sure why yours is doing that. Mine always stops after charging.
@@MarkThomasBuilder because its new junk designed to fail , first 2 everstarts failed fast , the stanley lasted much longer thought it would keep going but same fail
Do I have to ground it on metal of a car? I have the charger and car battery in my house and honestly I am disabled and can't lift the car battery and was hoping to charge it so that when my neighbor gets home tomorrow he can help me put it in my car to take to my dad's estate to see how bad his truck is. Sighhhh.
Same EXACT as the Black and Decker, same one as the Everstart , I wonder Who actually makes it ??
China. They often rebrand products.
THANK YOU
You bet!👍😀
How the hell do I get the battery charger to quit beeping?? I use it every night for work and I’m trying to sleep in peace man!! Someone please help me out
I'm not sure what it's doing that. Mine hasn't done that at all.
I suppose you could remove the beeper speaker 😂
Hi, I am having the same issue, and I think I know the reason. If your vector 15 amp is the most recent model, on the big red botom (om the left) says "lithium / lead acid" instead of the word "charge" just push it again and wait 10 seconds to change from lithium Mode to lead acid. You will know the diference because on "lithium Mode" shows L1, the voltage and amp, and it kepps the beep beep But on the lead acid only will show you the amp on the screen and it doesn't make any sound.
Where’s the beeper speaker
So why does it have to be grounded onto the vehicle rather than the battery?
I think it's a safety feature to protect something from happening with the battery. Years ago, I always clamped to the negative post, but don't anymore.
@@MarkThomasBuilder my dad kept questioning why the car instead of the battery. I just said screw It, onto the battery it goes.
Looks like the walmart everstart chargers are rebranded Vectors.
There's a few brands that look the same.
Black and Deckers as well
Just to be clear. Your old battery charger was going bad so you went out and bought the Vector?
Or Vector sent you a free battery charger for your unbiased review, wink'wink
My old one sounded like an old portable cd player trying to spin. It you tapped it, the speed would increase. This Vector charger was sent to me and I showed the official results of my tests. I definitely recommend it.
@@MarkThomasBuilder I do also but I bought and paid for mine. You should disclose the fact though that you got your's free.
@@thepubliceye Okay
In that 5 minutes you should have let it charge
Haha, yep good point!👍
You just damaged your battery by draining it out like that. Automotive batteries are not designed for severe drain like that
Oh man, the price I pay. Thanks for letting me know.
He is doing a public service for people who live with problems outside of the ideal standards of the battery. Ideally your alternator never fails and your battery never dies but there’s a reason we both watched this video.
