| The Batteryminder (correct spelling of the Battery Minder desulfator
or battery rejuvenator) broke down, so we tried calling VDC
Electronics in New Jersey, the batteryminder's manufacturer. The
batteryminder has a 3-year warranty. Every extension was voicemail.
Left several messages, no reply from anyone. They won't get a good
review from this incident. Where do these companies get all their
"good reviews", anyway?
What happened with this Batteryminder unit is that some plastic stuff
inside melted and came out thru the vent holes. Now, the batteryminder
doesn't work off the AC outlet, although the LEDs light up when
plugged into a battery. So, its not battery-minding, shall we say
that?
Does it do anything? Well, it does charge batteries, albeit very very
slowly compared to a Soneil battery charger (imho the Soneil is the
gold standard for batteries).
In my opinion, forget this product.
