It definitely charges the battery but not as fast or efficiently as the original. If you charge the battery to full, pull it off the charger and put it back on, it goes back to charging and will charge for another hour or so. Mine lives in my truck all year so in the winter it draws a bit from the battery but not too bad. Would purchase again if I needed to.

We switched to lithium batteries and needed a tri-chemistry charger. These chargers have worked out great for our needs in the forest service.

I purchased this battery as a replacement for one that had aged out. I had purchased a battery from a seller on Ebay and. Found the battery did not fit in the charger correctly. Somehow when making the plastic mould they did not allow for the correct fit. The one from Cut Rate Batteries fit perfectly and works very well.
