Does this work as a trickle charger?

"Maintenance Mode/Float Mode charging" --- from the product description, so yes, the docked device is kept fully charged. The device itself is used as a jump starter.

I bought a trickle charger that automatically shuts off when fully charged so as not to overheat the battery. I never paid attention to how long it takes, but would recommend investing in such a charger to save the battery. The charger can be used for other batteries as well.

hi aaron it's a trickle charger only, you can't run anything, like light's, it's best that if you have a disconnect switch to turn it off. this is for maintaining the battery when not in use, works great for that!!!

I only use it for trickle charging. It does keep up with radio memory , but that's a very low voltage pull.

It can trickle charge the battery if it is angled at the sun without any shade. If you intend to deplete the battery you will need more than a 10 watt panel.

It charges the battery when running. However, there is no trickle charger for the battery when the generator is not in use. You can buy one at Harbor Freight for around $7 and worth just leaving it connected all season long.

I use a Battery Minder Plus trickle charger. I use my battery with an inverter as a backup power supply.

It could work if it is small enough for your autos dash, or back window sill, or hung on a window some how.If some of it's efficiency is backlost, i don't know. I do know trickle chargers for car batteries are made to lay on the dash in the sunlight. My unit did not function for what ever reason, so I sent it back. I liked the design and huge connectors.

You should fitter that question as many people have talked about that. I don't have one as I don't want to be bothered by trickle charging all the time for the few times I use the unit.

NO. It can but would take days if not weeks. Remember, it is a trickle charger which means the charging amperage is very small 2.5, when the sun is brightest.

The greater the battery is discharged, the longer the charger will take to restore it to full charge. The unit will automatically do this and maintain a trickle charge until disconnected.

It might help... I found that the regular charger performed poorly so I used a trickle charger thru the gator clamps and charged it that way.If I had know what I know now, I wouldn't have bought it. Poor design, short life of battery.

I have a motorcycle trickle charger that may work, haven't tries it, for the price get a new one

Couldn't tell you but using it with the generator it's meant to start and using the built in trickle charger I never had a problem starting the generator.

It's a very slow trickle charge. It's great for maintaining batteries but if you have a dead battery and are in a rush to charge it this is not what you need. I'm not sure but I would guess my unit would take a day to fully charge my car's battery.

Yes. I have had it for 4 years on a continuous trickle charge (except when in use) and it still works great!

Hi, Klara. I'm not exactly sure what you're asking. Plug the Mity-Mite into heavy duty extension cord to charge it. Once it's fully charged, the unit displays a green light when you press the button on the front of it. If not charged, the light will glow red or yellow. The unit can be used to jump start almost any kind of standard battery used in a vehicle (not, of course, a hybrid battery). This is not a trickle charger, in other words you cannot put it on the car's battery and expect it to slowly re-charge the battery. It's like having jumper cables without needing to attach one end to a viable battery and the other end to the battery that isn't working. Hope this answers your question.
