The reason it shut down in BOOST mode is because the battery was already charged. The microprocessor did its job and returned to low power. It would "slow" charge until the battery hit 100% then go into MAINTAIN mode. Basically, it functioned perfectly. Maybe do another video using a discharged battery and show the charging process doing 3 or 4 checks at 10 or 15 minutes apart. You could either periodically show the progress like that, or just show the finished charged and approximate time it took complete the process. Hope I'm not being too straight forward. 🍻
I used it for about 2 weeks. I used it on a battery that I had to connect a good battery too in order for it to want to charge it. The charger would then start the boost then stop after the amps got to about 25 volts. It would shut off then when the voltage drop back down to 11 or 12 then the boost would come back on. This was for the 40amp. I couldn't get it to work and apply 100 amps. I don't know if it need to be connected to a car or not for this to occur but I felt as if it wasn't what I was looking for and returned it. I could never get it to apply a steady 40 amps or 100 amps for either of the battery I used. Not in video. But I returned the item and I appreciate your feedback. I may revisit this if I end up buying another one.
@JoshBeingJoshYT Neither boost mode would work, but it charges fine, correct? I've never dealt with this particular model, or brand for that matter, but my old charger only used boost modes when actually using it as a "jumper" to start my old 2000 Yukon Denali after the alarm would drain the battery. Any other time I only used the 2A or 20A settings. I'll be the first to admit I'm no battery charger expert, but I'm a bit of a geek and a long time electrician and when I mix those two qualities together I can become a bit of a Mr. Know-It-All that don't know jack. 😂😂😂
@arthurcombs5032 I couldn't get either boost mode to work as a high amp charger. However the batteries I used were any good except for one I put in my tractor but it would not boost that either. I don't know I'd it's the microprocessor in the smart charger or what. I am learning about batteries too. I already have a battery charger so I didn't need a bigger battery charger. I only bought it in an attempt to apply a steady 100amps for a few minutes at a time so I can desulphate/revive the battery but it won't go over 15 amps for whatever reason. Instead of opening it up and rigging it I am just going to buy the stick welder soon and use it as it will do what I need it to do. And I can also use the welder itself. It's supposed to be really good.
