how long in the start mode does the charger cycle .the cheaper one can only be used 6 seconds in start mode
1033087
I've used it several times on the 225 setting and it has never kicked off. Once I was trying to start an old tractor for a good 20 minutes off and on, I'm thinking it doesn't cycle off at all.

More important is high amperage/voltage output to the vehicle. When in start mode the charger will output in excess of 20vdc & at least the rated amperage. Any thing that draws currant even thou the ignition switch is off such as computer- radio clock-interior lights- etc could blowout, If the battery does not absorb the high additional charger output because of problems like cable connections, corrosion & so on then the vehicle will absorb the excess & cause you additional problems. In answer to your question the only limit is the heat buildup to the charger & the starter. Recommend 2 start tries for 5 sec ea & 15min cool down. Never hook up charger start mode with out a battery installed or you will FRY everything. Hope this helps you.

I'm not sure, sorry. I generally just plug the charger with a battery into my power strip and when I notice it has turned green unplug it. I've never timed it, but it doesn't seem to take too long. Also, it's hard to say because I have three batteries and after a photoshoot always just swap out the battery for a fresh one and charge the one I've just used, which always has more power still left in it. Sometimes it has 40% left, sometimes more or less, etc., so the time to recharge varies. I seldom run the batteries all the way down, etc. I'll say this... I've been VERY pleased with this charger.

if your battery is low it may take up to 3 0r 4 days since it's a low amp charge and designed to keep the battery at full charge once it's at full charge. This charger is super for use when you don't drive the vehicle a lot and it sits for any length. it can be used on the battery in the car or taken out, once it's on it can stay plugged in all winter of summer just unplug it when you go driving. If the car stays outside they make a waterproof model. If your looking for a fast charger this is not what you want, if you do buy this make sure it's the 12 volt model ... hope this will help you

It really depends on the Rating and efficiency of your charger. The stock Samsung one takes ~2X longer than the Motorola ones I have. You also need to factor in length of your cable and quality. This can sometimes decrease the amount of charge that gets to your battery. Turning off energy using features while charging also helps it charge faster since the phone is using less and more can be put to the battery. I would say 3-4 hours with my good Motorola chargers and 4-5 with the Samsung ones from 1%. Certain % ranges take longer than others so do not rely solely on the % to tell you how long.

I used it for a hard 30 minutes and then set it to recharge and it was fully charged in less than 30 minutes. I'm not sure if it took 15 minutes, or the full 30 minutes that I was gone. Here say says that the drawbacks are the battery life and the charger quality.Very pleased with the one I purchased, so far.

I have the 6.6kW charger and the Leaf charges almost 30% per hour fir the first 80-90%... It is effectively 2-3 hours of charging, if you don't wait for the last tiny bit and don't run it completely out.

Hello AlexisIn answer to your question about performing battery charging, and jump starting the answer is yes to both. I personally have used both functions with this charger. I inadvertently closed my seatbelt in driver's door which completely drained the battery. I used this charger for approximately two hours to recharge my battery which it did. After the charge I had no other problem starting, or operating the vehicle's devices. I have also jump started vehicles with this charger. It performed both functions. It also has a compressor to air up your tires.

While I have not timed them (we have 2 chargers, 6 batteries) they are always charged within 2 hours. The light turns green when you insert the batteries in their charger if there is any charge left in them. It turns red when plugged into the wall socket and green again when charged. I hope this helps. Any more questions, please let me know.

Just connect it to the battery then start it up. However, make sure the mpower jump it cables are making a good connection or it might not start. Once it starts remove the cables right away no longer then 30 seconds that is plenty of time. Because the car charging system puts out more current then it can take.

I generally come home in the evening @7:00, plug in my charger, and my vehicle is topped up when I leave @5:45 the next morning. I try not to charge until I am 4 bars or less -- so have never started at zero. 3 1/2 hours isn't sufficient to top up the car, even if I start with 4 bars. Allegedly I am supposed to be able to do a full charge from zero in 4 1/2 hours. I'd guess it's more like 6. Stu

I think the initial charge is longer. I believe it should be 16-24 hours. When it runs down we just plug it in at night and it's ready to go in the morning. The charger will stop when it is full, and not overload it.

The first time you want to charge the battery for about 4-6 hrs. Then you can go off with charger light indicator.

as long as you get 3, 4 hrs. uninterrupted use, you should be fine. I have seen it many times. Original charger is best

you can charge the battery after your first charge from now on to 6-8 hours.

I think 3-4 hours. I mostly use Duracell because I can't wait for charger. Hope this helps!
