MP00205B 12V 1000mA [Optimizer X]

For the price, this is an absolutely superb bit of kit, no reason not to have one on any vehicle sat unused over the cold winter months. Saves buying a brand new battery when they deplete over time, just connect it with the parts supplied in the box to your battery and leave it, giving you piece of mind that when you're ready to go, your battery will be too. The cables are a reasonable length, the charger although very light in terms of weight and display information functions as it should and is plug and play.

This is a slow gentle charge maintainer to help maintain a battery & prevent unnecessarily heating & boiling battery levels from fast charging. Having originally twice purchased the AA maintainer which both failed after a couple of uses (as per other reviewers), the Motopower 1000ma MP00205B has proven to be a great reliable purchase for keeping both of my rarely used cars batteries topped up. This model displays every stage of the charge & switches to float maintenance mode where it can be left connected for extended periods or unplugged should you choose to.

I bought the 1 amp charger, MP00205B, to use on my classic car during the winter when it's not used much. The charger is quite compact, smaller than I expected. I haven't tried using it yet, but noticed the AC lead is a little short, only about 50cm, a 1m lead would have been more practical. DC leads are well over 2m, so no complaints there. I will update this review once I have tested the charger. UPDATE: Charger has been on car all winter, and seems to be working well.

Excellent compact little unit ideal for the job. Great design clear display easy to use. Good cable length. Great value for the price.

Nice charger, does the job. Thanks.

Great wee charger .been on all winter keeping my motorbikes battery fully maintained..

I got the 1A version to trickle-charge my unused car over winter. I paid 30 quid I think. It's really nicely manufactured...the wiring, connectors and the croc-clips are nicely made and the wiring crimps are properly done. The croc-clip springs are really strong too. I'm very pleased. Well-written English instructions too.

I bought this charger/maintainer for my electric start generator, which is rarely used. During our last storm, the battery was too low to start the generator, so I needed to find a charger/maintainer. Finding one with the quick connect connectors was an adventure, until this product was recommended by a guy on youtube. The price is great, and I only had to plug this into the connector in my generator, without having to remove the battery. Easy. The generator had not been started in 4 months, but I don’t know how low the battery was. The instructions say that it will not charge a battery that’s below 4 volts, although I see on other comments here, that it might. In any event, I plugged it in. At first, only the ‘on’ light came on, without indicating it was charging. Of course, I ‘panicked’. I disconnected the connector and connected it again. This time the red light came on, indicating that it was charging. The comments here says this will take about 5 hours or so, and then I will leave this connected to make sure the battery is always topped up. I’m very satisfied with my purchase. I need to edit this, as now I am having problems with the charger, after only about 2 hours of use (and not charging the battery).
