Will this or is this in any way meant to charge & help maintain a car battery? My battery is a AutoZone Duralast Battery 26R-DL

Accoding to CTEK web site, the recommended chargers for cars are the CTEK Multi-US4.3 (good) 7002 (better) or 25000 (best)

A very good product I would recomend this product to charge and maintain a 12Volt car battery.

It should work just fne. I have five(5) of these units on various batteries from snowblowers to cars, and they have not given me any problems. I would recommend purchasing either a CTEK 56-564 indicator pigtail, or CTEK 56-380 indicator panel if you plan to permanently connect to your vehicle.

Yes I am using this on a vehicle that is not driven in the winter. I suggest buying the addtnl accessory that allows you to plug into the cigarette lighter for convenience.

Sure it will...I have charged many. It does more than just charge.......check out C-Teks website.It is not a FAST charger...it IS a charger that will revive tired batteries!!

I cannot say that it will charge any particular brand of battery, but I can speak on my experience with the charger. I have used it to maintain a charge on my car battery (38 Chevy converted to 12 volt) which I bought from O'Reily's Automitive. I do not drive the car often, but the car cranks up strong every time I do.I like the size of the charger and ease of use. Literally plug and charge; without bells and whistles. I do recommend this charger, as I am very happy with the purchase.

The CTEK 3300 can be used on lead acid batteries to recharge a low battery or maintain a battery when not being used. I have two of them and use them to maintain batteries on vehicles stored during the winter. One of the best chargers on the market.

I'm using it to maintain my battery in a car seldom used in the winter and it works great. Some car's just don't hold a charge in the cold if not used a few times a week.

Yes. I use this product to maintain two car batteries (one charger for each) and it hasn't failed yet.

I am not sure if it would charge completely. This is more of a battery maintainer when used with the amperage reducer that came with mine.

Keep it connected unless you need to use the car. The idea of a tender is that it will maintain the current battery charge that the car has without over charging it and ruining the battery.

sure it will pal, keep it in dry place...it works automatically... when battery is full charge it stops sending charge...when battery need charge it will auto start it will never burn or dry your battery

It will work but you would be overloading it in the start mode...it would be fine for charging. You probably have a 250 amp solenoid. This is an 80 amp.

I am not an auto-mechanic. I purchased this charger to charge a 12V Marine-grade battery. The battery was completely "dead" but was only a year old. There is a deep cycle-recondition selection. I chose that and it took a full 3 hrs to go through the cycle. It charged the battery, which is now going on 5 years old and STILL re-charging on only the standard charge. I hope that helps answer your question.

Sure, I use mine to charge every kind of battery I have! Make sure you follow the battery's manufacturer recomendations for what to set on the charger

I'm using it for that purpose on my old Subaru. It comes with a small charge regulator to properly charge 12 volt batteries.

It will drain your battery very quickly when the car is off. The alternator should help

Yes I believe it will although it would be good to keep your engine running while using it-some people think it charges up and you don't have to keep it in tact with the engine current-but we have found it works best when still charging. Don't really know otherwise, if assuming it will work otherwise.

As others have responded, this is a trickle charger. Think of your battery as a bucket full of water that slowly evaporates over time. The purpose of this device is to keep the bucket full by keeping a very small trickle of water going into it while there is light striking its panel. It will not develop anywhere close enough to actually "fill up the bucket" should you be very, very low, and certainly can't generate enough to jump start your vehicle should the battery be very low. Its whole purpose is to make sure that the battery does not get low while you leave your vehicle unattended for weeks or months. As others have responded, this is a trickle charger.

If I understand your question correctly, no. If your car battery is really old and totally bad and incapable of holding a charge, I don't think this will work. It works great for a still good battery that has run down due to leaving something on

This would probably work fine to charge your car battery, but it would be slow. This is more of a trickle charger than a fast battery charger. There are actually some better choices out there for car batteries. I have a classic car, and I keep a Battery Tender 021-0123 Battery Tender Junior 12V Battery Charger attached to that, and it keeps the battery totally charged. If you want a really fast charge (which is harder on your battery, it will reduce the life of the battery) you could use something like the Schumacher SE-5212A 2/10/50 Amp Automatic Handheld Battery Charger.

should work fine off a battery and using this to keep it charged.. shouldn't used it directly because of voltage fluctuations with clouds and weather.. will put out up to 6 amps in good sunlight...

Nope. Not made for that. Needs an AC wall plug. There ARE chargers that run off car lighter output, but not for this battery. As the other guy said, you need a converter....

If the battery is initially charged, then yes, the trickle charger will maintain it. I use it on all my bike batteries in such a way.

I have a larger battery in my truck and this item will not keep it charged at all times. The charge is too weak. I doubt it can keep up as an on the go charger with 2 batteries......
