Will this work for a 2012 Chevy Volt as a level 1 or level 2 charger? Does it differ in any way from the factory level 1 charging unit?

Yes provided you plug it into a 220 v outlet. This particular one has a 120 v plug so you either need to change the plug or get an adapter. I understand the supplier will also substitute a 220 v plug at time of order. Ask them they are helpful. The unit provided with the csr is 120 v onlyBut you need to have a 220 outlet available.

It actually charges "faster" than the factory L1 charging unit, because the latter can only be operated from a 120V outlet. The EVI unit can operate from a 240V outlet as well as a 120V outlet. In the case of the latter, the charger in your VOLT will work exactly the same with either charging unit.

Yes - I've used a base level Sears 10 amp battery charger on them for years with no problems. I've always charged them in "Regular" mode and had no problems.

I can't access the charger to determine the model number however I can tell you that it is the original charger that was purchased with the 18 volt implements that I have. I still switch out an 18 volt battery with the new 20 volt battery, both being charged on this charger. The original 18 volt implements work fine with the 20 volt battery. I did some research on the Worx site and concluded that the change to 20 volt was a reasoned decision taken by Worx and does not appear to be a work-around designed to leave the 18 volt implements in some sort of lesser position. When my second 18 volt battery ceases functioning I will buy a second 20 volt battery and continue to use my original "18 volt" charger.

The connector that plugs into the charging unit looks similar to the connector used to plug a charger into a wide variety of rechargable devices. (like a portable vacuum cleaner I own) but I would be very careful that whatever panel you try as a replacement it would need to have the exact same current and voltage ratings as the compatible one you are attempting to replace. (no they are not all the same) I do not know the exact part number for the connector (and am not going to try and figure it out) Hope this is helpful Patrick

Just look at your old charger, if the numbers, such as volts are the same, you should be fine.

This is a Level 2 charger. Refer to the owner's manual of the Kia EV to determine charging times with different sorts of chargers. More than likely, that car can only use Level 1 (120 VAC) or Level 2 (240 VAC) chargers. The difference in charging time between 120 VAC and 240 VAC is much less than 1/2 as long. If the car takes 20 hours to charge with a 120 VAC charger, it will take more like 4-6 hours to charge with a 240 VAC charger. If you do not have that car yet, you can usually download the onwer's manual from the manufacturer's web site.

The existing charger should work. Look at the charger. They list what volt charging it supports.

I see the home charger ports clearly marked 1A and 2.1 A, but the car charger ports are not marked. I will try to test the amperage on each port soon and do another follow up review.

Despite level one being half the voltage, which one expects should be double the time compared to level two, level one take about three times the duration. This is likely due to back EMF of the battery. There is also lower resistance and higher efficiency at level two. For example, Nissan LEAF takes 6 to 7 hours to charge from completely empty to full at L2, but 20 to 21 hours at L1.

The charger works great for me on a standard 12 volt automobile battery. The car doesn't get a lot of use and I use the charger to keep the battery topped off.

2 6volt batteries is still 6 volts. I don't think this charger will work for you, there are some dual 6/12 volt chargers, but I think this charger is just 12 volt.

I'm pretty sure either one will be the same. Most chargers like this are a parallel circuit so there is no number one port, per se. The ports output equal amps unless marked.

The charger itself does not have that ability (that I know of). The Volt does provide that functionality. I would assume the Leaf or Tesla would have that too.

Charge time is determined by whether you set it to 8 amp or 12 amp. For my Chevy volt, it charges the same as the charger that came with the Volt. On 220/240 40 amp it takes 4 hours. On this charger (same as the Volt OEM charger) it takes 10 hours at 12 amp and 14 hours at 8 amp. I just bought this because I wanted an extra charger so that I could leave the oem charger in the car and still have a 110v charger in my garage.

This device does NOT charge at 4.2 amps or even 1 amp in your car. It's power output specs are for 24 volt trucks and military vehicles, not 12 volt cars. The maximum input is 1,000 milliamps. That is 1 amp at 12 volts. Unless the manufacturer has figured out how to break the laws of physics (conservation of energy) there is no way that this device has more than 2 amps output at 12 volts. I know. I was dumb enough to buy one, only to watch my battery drop while "charging" and using GPS. I estimate that the charger was putting out about 700 milliamps in the android output.

yes I did it worked fine, but make sure you get the polarity right or it will blow the fuse in the charger. I did this and had to get a new charger

That is for specific motors only. Car and trucks don't use that one. It is a great charger!
