I bought this product from Amazon and installed PowerPoles. Looked great.

I connected it to my existing, slightly discharged PowerSonic 35 Ah battery and waited for it to charge. Over night, I smelled something odd, then found battery had over-charged and buckled.

Most of these chargers may work, but this one created a hazard in my shack and ruined a $70 battery. I sent a polite e-mail (available on request) to service@batterytender.com on 12/18/12 and have received NO response from them as of 01/02/13.
