If the charger looses AC power, will it resume in last mode set when AC power is restored?

No. You would have to re-select the charging mode. It would just come on waiting for a selection to be made.

NO the charger will not resume the last mode set if you power is lost. If the charger looses power say from a power outage, the charger will default to a safe maintainer mode once power is restored and no selection is made on the charger itself.

Oh.. If you are asking if the charger will shut off after the battery has been charged the answer is yes but it is recommended that you do not leave the battery connected to the charger all the time.

it does have an auto stop when charging with AC. The light will go from red to green to let you know it is fully charged. You can leave it plugged in without damaging the unit. You can not do this with DC. as with your car lighter socket. You can overcharge the battery and damage it. Hope this helps.

It should be connected to the AC charger at all times when not in use. The AC charger is designed to automatically reduce the charge to a small trickle charge after the battery is topped up to maintain charge and prevent charge-discharge cycles which reduces battery life. I have mine connected since two years. It consumes a small 1 watt load while trickle charging.

Yes. USB output is indeed AC mode. I cannot say enough good things about this charger. Works like a boss!

If you stop, it can remain in ready (green light) mode and resume from the stopped point. If you power down (red light) it resumes from the stopped point. If you unplug, it resets to start when power is restored and the device is started.

Yes... it will turn back on to the EXACT settings as before the power went out!!!

It depends on whether the lighter switch remains on or off after you turn off your car. In my case, it goes off, and so is the charger

If being charged by AC there is an auto shut off. If plugged into a DC power source you have to monitor the charging by eye.

Depends on what you mean by this. If the charger is supposed to be the controlling device, it will probably not draw enough current even in charging mode to switch off the controlled outlets of the strip. If you mean that a charger is one of the controlled loads, then it will be turned off whenever the controlling device turns off. For example, my controlling device is a computer. When I put that computer into sleep mode, all subsidiary loads including my monitor and a USB hub power puck also go off.

I can confirm that no, it would not come back on after a loss of power. You would need to manually hit the "power" button to make it turn back on.
1838962
Yes! And it will also start up again if the charge drops after a prolonged period of no use.

No the charger turns off the voltage when the battery is fully charged and the LED light changes color to alert you its done .

NO, however, as stated in the manual; In the "Automatic Charging Mode" When an automatic charge is performed, the charger switches to the maintenance mode automatically after the battery is charged. Hope this helps you.

Basically an old wive's tale at this point. Modern chargers mostly detect when a battery is full and stop charging (or drop back to just trickle charging). I wouldn't worry about it unless a manual for a device specifically says to disconnect the charger after a full charge. There's so much mythology and repeated nonsense out there about batteries, chargers, and how they work!

Good Question: The only time that you have to re-enter the battery type is when there is no power applied to the charger (either battery, or the 110Volt wall plug) So if it has either type of power applied it remembers.

Yes, it's also supposed to start charging again once the battery drops to a certain point (I've never left mine plugged in on maintenance mode so cannot verify this).
