The MUS 4. 3 TEST&CHARGE is easy and safe to use, protects vehicle electronics, spark-free, reverse polarity protected and short circuit proof. The 4. 3 TEST&CHARGE has a 5 year Limited Review: Excellent product - tested on Acura TLX and BMW X3 - Excellent product. Tested on 2015 Acura TLX SH-AWD with standard AGM battery. It worked in normal car mode and significantly faster in the snowflake mode. Positive was connected to the battery and negative to one of the unpainted bolts next to the cross stabilizer bar ( close to the windshield on the drivers side under the hood ) Also tested on 2017 BMW X3 xdrive 28i. Charger was connected to the terminals under the hood. For this vehicle, snowflake mode was working much better. I think it charges with slightly higher voltage that works better with BMW AGM battery. I tried normal car mode, but it was super slow and not sure if it was effective. Charger stayed cold on touch in the normal car mode. In the snowflake mode, it was warm on touch but not hot and it was able to complete the charge overnight. Going forward, I will be using only snowflake mode for BMW AGM battery. That setting is recommended for certain types of AGM batteries. Garage temperature was around 10 c, and it was charged overnight in both cases. It may take longer if your battery is really low. Charger will memorize last setting, so just connect it and then plug in the wall. Easy to use. TIP: Press the button for 2 seconds to switch between test mode and charging mode. Sometimes, it's necessary to do this after you plug in the charger. - Blinking lights - user selection required ( either for test mode or charging mode ) - Steady light - Test mode ( only one light ) - Steady lights - charging mode ( steady lights showing the phase of the charge ). If it doesn't go automatically in this mode, you may have to press the button for 2 seconds and then select the proper charging mode ( car/snowflake/motorcycle ) Review: Es una maravilla este Battery Tender - Ojo, no es un cargador de batería; es un mantenedor de batería (Battery Tender). Mantengo la batería de mis autos clásicos siempre en óptimas condiciones. Sirve para motocicletas igualmente. Hay un auto que no le he cambiado la batería en aprox 8 años. La condición es siempre tener conectada la batería al aparato y proteger el aparato con un regulador de voltaje. Lo recomiendo ampliamente. ## Features - COMPLETE BATTERY CARE - Test & Charge’s Unique & patented system to recover, charge & maintain all lead-acid battery types to maximize performance & extend life. - SAFE TO USE - User safety through spark-free operation & reverse polarity protection.

Will this work-- or is it overkill?** A: I can recommend this battery charger. The reason is that performance and usability are very good. I think it is a good choice to use even if you buy a large car. **Q: Alternator test work on motorcycles too?** A: Yes ... make sure the battery is fully charged so you won't get a false result. Switch the MODE button to alternator >> start the engine and hold it at 2000 rpm >> if it is charging less than 13.3V it will light up (BAD) >> 13.3V-14.0V (FAIR) >> and above 14.0V (OK). **Q: What is the difference of this one from model 56-864? They seem identical** A: model #56-864 doesn't check your Alternator to see if it is charging u battery **Q: Is this unit also good for trickle charge?** A: The product description and other web references say it will work as a trickle charger. In fact the unit goes into a trickle charge mode after it cycles through the battery tests and reconditioning steps. I have used it as a trickle charger for days in a row on a car that gets little use. So far I am satisfied with the product. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent product - tested on Acura TLX and BMW X3 *by N***D on 24 February 2019* Excellent product.
