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

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

Yes. It is also a battery maintainer which means it charges the battery. You should regularly test it to be sure the battery is good and probably replace the battery every three years or so.

this is a connector to your battery MAINTAINER not a charger. Its recommended to be connected after the battery is charged.

That should work. I use mine to maintain six 6 volt batteries in my golf cart. However I wouldn't use this device as a charger. I think it would take quite awhile to charge batteries that are low. It's main function is to maintain a charge. You might call the company. They were real helpful in answering some questions I had when I bought mine.

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.

i am not a mechanic, nor electrical engineer, however, I doubt that the current required to charge this unit will do any harm to the battery. For a more qualified answer, you might check with your mechanic or dealer that sells auto batteries.

As the other answers, yes. It will also keep your battery in good condition. At this stage, it has restored my tractor battery and car battery, both now over 5 years old. Tractor battery was about finished until I used this charger on it, now it starts the little diesel readily. Works as advertised.

Not sure. I use it to maintain batteries at 13+ volts while I reflash the ecu's at the dealership. I haven't had to fully charge a battery yet, it's worked great for my needs.

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.

It charges my Lincoln, so it should charge your car, I hope you didn't get one that doesn't work. Sorry I can't be more helpful

If I understand it correctly, it"s kind of like a "Miracle Charge" you would put on your motorcycle or antique car, but this one, "a microprocessor-controller that constantly monitors the RV battery status and automatically selects one of four charging modes: Boost Mode - (14.4) to quickly bring the battery to 90 percent of full charge, Normal Mode - (13.6) safely completes the charge, Storage Mode - (13.2), automatically activates after 30 hours of non-use or Desulfation Mode - (14.4), for 15 minutes every 21 hours to prevent battery stratification and sulfation (the leading cause of battery failure)." I think it monitors the batteries, locates the lo battery and re-routes power from another battery. It's not really a battery chargers, but more of a routing station. My RV has 5 batteries and sometime certain batteries use more power than others and this helps keep them all charged ith in the same range. That is what the hi-lighted section refers to. Mine has worked very well. Dont buy the cae they try to sell with it. Its plastic and will disappear with a good kick. I used a chain of a cable with a lock. I hope this helps, but I could be totalyy wrong.

I've seen this question before and found one particular answer/response very helpful- the charging system of the vehicle you are putting it in used to charge a lead acid battery did it not? I use a solar NOCO trickle charger on mine. NOCO Battery Life BLSOLAR5 5 Watt Solar Battery Charger and Maintainer

i guess anything is possible, but of what purpose? it's for charging a 12 volt battery. the only thing i could guess is if your bike is battery powered? this unit is a slow charger not for a fast recharge. it is a workout on a stationary bike as it is. best of luck!

Yes. I use it to charge/maintain a car battery everyday. It might recharge a battery but it would take a long time if it was discharged.

It wont charge a car battery but yes it will keep a charge on your camera just make sure to use a new battery!!!.

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.

Yes - to a point. The best option is to keep your batteries from becoming heavily sulfated in the first place. This charger, if used perhaps for a monthly top off in a vehicular application, should prevent that.
