Is there a "hold" feature for the timer with this charger? Also, it looks like it only has an amp meter...no volts? Thanks.

Yes, it has a hold setting on the timer dial. Which is particularly useful when charging a large deep-cycle battery bank, such as with a solar power installation where you will need to charge at 20 amps for 3-1/2 to 4 hours if the battery bank is 50% discharged to start with.

An alternative solution would be a visit to the Schumacher Electric site where you can download a PDF User Guide.

Sorry, it has been so long since I installed it and I'm no electrician so I don't remember. I would not recommend this if you desire a 'hold' function. Mine does not work. It does not keep good time either as it turns off after less than 12 hours even when I set it all the way into the 'hold' section.

No, this does not have a timer. I have to switch it on/off manually. However, I like it since I do not have to pull the plug out after use.

Great Question :) I wanted to be sure for you so I went out and opened one up to check for sure. It does have the 2 hour timer AND a hold setting as well. So yes your good to go :) Let us know if you have any other questions :) Thanks Dustin GreatVacs (seller)

I DONT RECOMMEND USING A TIMER ON THIS DESIGN OF CHARGER, when the timer drops power to the battery then the light on the charger will stay lite up by using the battery (that you where charging) power. It doesn't get hot. I leave 1 (of this model) on each of my atv & jetski when ever my stuff sits for roughly over 2-3mths.I mainly leave mine on through the winter months.I have another brand (a old obsolete design I left a review on also) permanently mounted on my mower.After a couple years Id recommend topping off the battery with water if needed.Ive used trickle chargers for about 10ish years I DONT RECOMMEND USING A TIMER ON THIS DESIGN OF CHARGER, when the timer drops power to the battery then the light on the charger will stay lite up by using the battery (that you where charging) power.

not sure how many amps you need..... but I would not buy that charger again. I went w/1 that will read batteries and auto shut off. do your self a favor and buy a good charger.

I am not sure what you mean by a "voltage charger." If you mean a voltage changer, no it does not have one.

As far as I can tell the 9 volts are timer based. The batteries capacity (mAh) determines the time in the charger. It will automatically turn off after so many hours. (at least ours does!)

This charger is old. It is no longer listed on the Energizer website.The newest tip is a mini USB. All the rest are probably of no use.

It should be similar to your charger. If you use a two amp port it might be quicker if the device allows it. I have never timed it versus my charger.

No. 110 volts only. This charger is very slow and doesn't hold the battery very security. But it cheap & it works. Good luck

This charger only operates for 60 seconds @ 50amp & shuts down for 180seconds (3mins) to prevent damage - if your battery is not totally trash then 50amps will crank engine & usually start car so it can charge on it's own ~ this feature is only intended for for situations when one does not have sufficient time for a proper charge~ such as running late for work & need car running instantly ~ continually charging a battery @ 50amp can result in injury or explosion~ this is a charger & proper time for charing is ALWAYS recommended

We have two chargers. I'm not certain that this is true, but the one that came with the unit is apparently less sophisticated and we've been told to remove the battery after a half day or so. It supposedly keeps the current flowing and may shorten battery life. A second charger that we bought from Amazon detects when the battery is charged and stops the current. We keep the extra battery charging in it and one fully charged in the blower.

This charger does have an auto shut off feature that's suppose to shut off the charger to prevent overcharging. I haven't needed that feature, so I can't tell you how well it works, only that's it's available.

The Leviton does not have a timer. The Leaf, however, is able to be setup on a timer to charge. I set mine up to only start charging from 12:01am - 7am to take advantage of discounted nightly electricity rates.

The operating instructions say:9 volt charging is timed, switches off after 14 hours. Red LED goes off to indicate charging is finished. Charge current for 9V batteries is stated to be 20 mA. That rate is confirmed by label on underside of charger.I'm very pleased with how it charges 1.5 volt cells. I have no 9V rechargeables so it's more limited capabilities there were not an issue for me.

Be very careful with using this unit, it does not keep a constant voltage. Mine is about half of what the toggle says. ie I have to put mine at 12 volts to charge my 6 volt radio. At 6 volts it is putting out 2.5 to 3 volts. I would not recommend this one.
