Unreliable
Worked fine while it worked, but at some point, it just failed for no apparent reason. By the time I found something was wrong, my battery was dead flat, and wouldn't take a charge anymore.
Plugging in, you hear a crisp snap at the plug, as it's probably charging a capacitor inside, but it does nothing else. When you unplug it, you can hear some brief internal clicking noises.
Other quality issue I find, is the use of cheap PVC jacketed cables that are extremely stiff in cold weather. Being that these cables are sealed into the charger, if the insulation cracks, there is no way to repair them.
