Paw Paw I have the viking charger. The smart charger with the repair and winter mode. I used to to bring back my truck batter when is only had 1,5 volts in the battery. It took awhile for it to charge. The voltage amp display is really nice. Once I got the battery up to around 12 volts. I switched it over to the automatic charge and let it run. I let it run over night. The next day when it was complacently charged it shut off automatically. It also brought the battery back to new condition with a full 15 volts charge. So it can save old batteries so you do not have to replace them. It gives you a lot more life out of them. Great product. If the charger is defective just bring it back to Harbor freight and they will give you a new one. My cousin is the general manager of my local harbor freight and he bought one to and loves it. Also the normal sell for 70 dollars US, but if you keep your receipt they usually come on sale quite a bit for 50 Dollars US. Bring your receipt into them with the flyer or online coupon and they will give your the difference int cash. Also if you are in Canada you can purchase the same charger maybe under a slightly different label from Princess Auto. The have the same products as Harbor Freight does. Only the are in Canada not the US.
Thanks PawPaw! You saved me from making a mistake! My Jeep battery is totally drained after traveling internationally for 3 months - no volts - and I almost bought the Cen-tech! And you are correct! It will not charge unless it detects a battery charge through cable connection! You “northerners” up in Tennessee - down here in Texas 32 F one day and 80 F next day is normal winter! 😂🤣😂
Great review PawPaw and that Viking battery charger is really something and the fact that it stops charging when the battery is fully charged, you’re Awesome PawPaw. 👍👍👍
That would be a problem for me to have a Battery Charger that wont charge if it cant detect voltage . Thank You. I have sold many a different Brands and models while working for all of the Auto Part Stores and had never heard of that. Thats nice to know Paw Paw.
That sells for $59.99 here in Columbus, OH. I'll look for a 20% coupon. That's great that it shuts off. On my old craftsman, the analog current indicator drops to low current but, it doesn't shut off completely. Thanks PawPaw 👍
That truck engine sounds good for a cold start. My brother-in-law had one that had a lot of lifter noise that went away after a few minutes of warming up. It's sort of crazy because he's an honest guy, but warmed that truck up right before the guy showed up to look at it. I'm sure the buyer wasn't happy when he started it up the next morning. Anyway, looks like a good battery charger. Thanks for the info.
There are several chargers out there that use this microchip and basic layout and function. Ampeak from Amazon, Battery Tender from Lowes, PowerTop also on Amazon. I think the Viking model from Harbor freight is the best deal. Nice review!
Well! That explains a lot! The damn sticker on top of the friggin thing says clamps unpowered! I guess I'm going to have to go back to school and learn Chenglish! Because I can't make a bit of since out of what they are saying!
Back before texting you would never call after 10pm or before 8am unless it was a family member and an emergency. Now with texting I get strangers texting me at all hours of the night about stuff I may have listed on classifieds. 4:00am was just yesterday and this is pretty common! Do they expect a response?
I have to put hours of contact in my listings. I ignore any contacts outside of those hours. If they are too dumb to read, they are too broke to buy.............. but I will still give your money back on that driveway lift !!! LOL !!!
So I have the centech I do like the jumpstart feature and I have the new small microprocessor 2amp centech as well I have ran into the same problem with both on them sensing the battery, so I learned how to trick them with a good battery out of my lawn mower now I couldn’t be happier although I do want the Viking products have friends who love Viking.
Had a centech and tried to use the 50a start feature, no go, started smoking and then a loud pop with fire shooting out of the top, almost didn’t get it off the front of the truck.
Oh come on PawPaw! Get them brake lights fixed!! You can fool that charger into charging just by hooking up your AAADUUUU!! Harbor also has those digital battery maintainer/charger. 22 dollars with a coupon........i have three..... one one each bike and one on my tractor!! Excellent!!
Okay I finally got finish watching after the live stream. I have Optima batteries and the charger that they make. It cost me 100 bucks but well worth it. Think I'll pick up one can't have to many chargers
Golf cart charger in Florida same. Gone for a 3 month period . Return it’s dead. Have to use a direct voltage charger to put same juice in it for a hour then go to your golf cart charger. Why would you run a battery to ZERO anyhow?
They all work on a battery that is just low but not completely dead. I want my charger to charge up a completely dead battery that has been in the garage for ten years unused.
PawPaw good darn it! I just subscribed to your channel and thank you for the review on this. I was a bit skeptical on the Viking charger. Just for the hat I gave you 20 thumbs up.
I found this out after exchanging one and then calling customer service when the second one didn't work lol it'll work for me since I can leave it charging all night and it switches to 2amp after charged. Does the other one shut off or switch to trickle after charged?
You would just be asking another battery to put a charge into your dead one. Take the battery out of the car and bring it inside to a charger or jump start it and drive to Walmart or wherever and buy a battery. They do make a solar panel to maintain a charge on your battery, but it won't charge up a dead battery.
Your videos are informative and helpful but you are not on the adult version of youtube and the cussing is not appreciated as my family and other families watch these videos. You ruin any popularity with the inappropriate language. Please leave the nasty language out.
Every one of my videos is marked NOT suitable for children. I just can't understand whiny people. It is actually quite simple, don't watch a channel if you don't like it. The last time I checked, this was my channel. You may now go forth and multiply singularly.

I have the flat style, but basically the same charger and love it. Also everyone needs a PawPaw. Doesn’t matter how old you are! 😎
Two thumbs up PawPaw! 👍👍😊
Good to know! Getting to that time of year! Stay safe and be well.
Great video, thanks we appreciate you!!! 🇺🇸
Santa Claus was in the Air Force, LOL.
I believe a man with a Trump 2020 hat on. You Go Sir!!!👍 Oh, the battery charge is frustrating as HELL!!!!
BOY AM I GLAD THAT I FOUND YOU! I WAS JUST ABOUT TO BUY THE ONE THAT YOU JUST PISSED ON!🤣😅😂👏👏👏👏
Seems like that first one is a waste of money but the second looks to be a good buy. Lots of charging options. Thanks for the information.
Great video you teach me a lot and I thank you for all the knowledge
Glad to help

Thank you for doing this review.
My Pop has a battery charger from the late 60’s and it still works just fine. I don’t know the maker, but it’s never failed us yet to this day.🇺🇸
I have had my battery charger for more than 40 years, and it still works great. It is made by Century.

Mine worked very well also
I’ve never had a problem with them. Some I’ve had for ages.
They all work on a battery that is just low but not completely dead. I want my charger to charge up a completely dead battery that has been in the garage for ten years unused.
PawPaw good darn it! I just subscribed to your channel and thank you for the review on this. I was a bit skeptical on the Viking charger. Just for the hat I gave you 20 thumbs up.
Thanks for the sub!
If it's good enough for Uncle Jessie & the Duke boys !!!
I found this out after exchanging one and then calling customer service when the second one didn't work lol it'll work for me since I can leave it charging all night and it switches to 2amp after charged. Does the other one shut off or switch to trickle after charged?

Didn’t Lowe’s or somebody pick up the Sears craftsman line
Did it stay charged
Yes.
My car is parked on the street so I don’t have access to an outlet. Can anyone recommend a mobile charger?
You would just be asking another battery to put a charge into your dead one. Take the battery out of the car and bring it inside to a charger or jump start it and drive to Walmart or wherever and buy a battery. They do make a solar panel to maintain a charge on your battery, but it won't charge up a dead battery.
@@DoingItCheap Thanks!

🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍👍👍🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
hELLO Pawpaw
Way out of 35-10 there Sarge
Most of the new chargers are made this way. Even the 6 amp is like this.

Battery chargers a piece of crap
