For 38 dollar is this a good battery charger? It's definitely affordable at a fair price.

I bought the Tractor Supply Traveller battery charger. It is a 2 amp, 4 amp, and a 6 amps charger. I like it a lot. It has never failed me. I use it to charge my lawn mower batteries and I will ocassionally charge my car batteries about every 3 months with it.

I have several different jump starters. One of my favorite jump starters is this one on my video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pd9ie5SKrZmYnYE.html I have had it for 1 year and it has never failed to jump a vehicle. We have had extreemly cold weather and snow and I have jumped two stranded cars over the past two weeks. One car was in the Walgreens parking lot and the other at Ollie's Discount Store.

My friend had this same charger. The LED's were so dim in 4 months that you could barely see them. In bright daylight it was almost impossible to see them. I guess they got dim in 4 months time. That is the main reason I returned it. He showed me his and I said, "I'm going to return mine."

If the battery was drained really low a vehicle’s alternator will not charge the battery to 100%. I have a Traveller battery charger that I use now. I bought it at Tractor Supply for $30.
