Good charger
Charger is ok what have use few times. I have use Ctek chargers and I think they stil is better. This charger say one battery is full, but then take it off and connected Ctek what charge it 2 hours. What comes test area that was almost same what I have other tester. Biggest problem was when I buy this come only one socket (UK), manual say that both come but maybe manual is universal this and that EU charger. Would have nice to tell it on ebay selling page. One bad condition battery try at recond but it that not worked any better, but sure battery maybe have come end of lifetime. Need a read again how to use recond because I did not be sure was it do that to the end.

Ring RSC612 Car Battery Charger
This charger makes a lot of noise whilst doing very little. The fan runs all the time. It won't charge batteries beyond 80% even after 20 hours, and it has a low charge rate of 2 amps all the time. Expensive unit. Not recommended l am afraid.

Feature loaded compact charger
This is a feature loaded charger at a sensible price. The 12A output will deal with the largest of car and van batteries, however in the real world, you will likely want one of the lower settings like 4A to give your battery an easier time. A total of four charging options and four test options will help you keep your battery in tip top condition. A clear display gives a running commentary on the voltage and current going into the battery at any one time. Two main charge modes are included, one for normal use and one for winter use to push a little extra voltage into the battery. A couple of auxilliary modes are present, a trickle charge which is handy for vehicles which get infrequent use and a recovery mode for batteries that have been left to go flat and don't take a decent charge any more. Test modes comprise two static tests which show the % charge and CCA respectively, however the latter involves selecting the CCA (or EN) of your battery which can be a pain, see bad points below. A couple of live tests complete the picture, one to measure the low water mark when the starter is turned which is a great real world test for the cranking capability of the battery. Finally, an alternator test which will show if the alternator is OK or if further attention is required. As a bonus, the unit can be clipped to the battery terminals and supply power to the vehicle while you take the battery off to change it - this is called the memory saver feature. This keeps power on the vehicle and can prevent problems with the alarm, radio codes and other headaches when the battery power is removed. Clearly, it needs to be plugged into the mains to provide the power... GOOD POINTS: High current rating, lots of features including battery recovery and trickle charge, lightweight, velcro to keep cables tidy, memory saver feature, rubber bumper round the outside to protect the case, decent croc clips. BAD POINTS: Nothing major really; When selecting the CCA, it would be good to hold the button down and let the number automatically ramp up. Going from the default 300CCA to 950CCA means pushing the up button 65 times. The manual is brief, some examples would be helpful.Read full review

Money saver.
I'm in the middle on this product. It's saved me buying one new battery @£250+. Bmw e46 m3 Hadn't been used since early Oct, 2.2v displayed when plugged into the mains. A garage would say you need a new battery sir others would say that's dead! 5hr recovery got it back to 12v and a 10 hour auto charge got it too 100%. Capacity after charge was 74% and 544 amps. From a 680en capacity lead acid battery used for I do get very inconsistent readings on the display same test a minute apart give different readings. A few little tweaks could make this a brilliant charger An screen timer or elapsed time display would be handy, what stage of the charging cycle its at just so you can cross reference that with what the display says because like I said I get different g in all I would highly recommend this product to save yourself the cost of a new battery, well for now anyway.Read full review

Lots of features!
Well constructed, and lots of features. Had to return initial one as it went faulty after 1st battery charged. (cooling fan blew), but supplier very good and efficient at replacing swiftly.

Easy To use Smart Battery Charger
This smart battery charger is a 7 stage type with battery recondition feature for standard and AGM (Stop/Start) type lead acid batteries. There are different models of this charger, the model number determines the maximum charge current in this case 12Amp. The last number in the model type specifies the maximum charge rate, so be careful when buying to ensure the one you buy is suitable for your application. The lower the maximum charge rate the cheaper the charger is to buy. This charger managed to recondition a stop/start battery that had been left to go flat for a few days but a mobility scooter battery left flat for an extended period that was found to have dried out failed to be reconditioned. Be aware that the recondition function will NOT work unless the battery voltage is above 4 volt @ no load. In my opinion this charger is expensive for what is does and the instructions leave out some important information. Such as the recondition minimum voltage the charger will work as stated above.Read full review

Excellent product
Very good quality, powerful, I use it to charge my 2nd car's battery while not using it. I already managed to restore an almost dead battery I had, I think this product is worth buying.

Incredible bit of kit, every Mechanic / Car Restorer should have one!
I had an old 80Ah Wet Lead Acid battery that was completely dead. The 6 cells required topping up of almost a litre of distilled water plus the neon status indicator on the battery was Black instead of Green. I attached the Ring 12Amp battery charger to the battery and selected to analyse the battery, status = 0% not a good start! I selected the 'Repair' function which then started to recondition the battery at a trickle charge of 0.8Amp. After 4-5hrs the battery was holding a charge of 4.6volts. The charger continued to recondition the battery for approx 24-30hrs. Whilst on charge it was automatically increasing the charge rate from 0.8amp to 12amp, until the battery was holding a charge of 14.4volts, and the battery's neon status indicator had turned Green...Incredible! A new battery would have cost far more than the cost of the Ring 12A charger, buy one, you won't be disappointed! :-)Read full review

Better than the lozenges, trust me I'm a doctor!
Okay, I'll be honest, for some reason I've always associated "Ring" products with the lower end of the market. Perhaps my experiences with their products as a teenager (many years ago, sadly!), coloured my perceptions. But, trust me, they have changed, and for the better! Now, for information, I know a "wee bit" about battery technology. My father was a submariner in the 1950's on board diesel-electric submarines, and they used massive lead-acid batteries, which had to be in tip-top condition at all times, hence he taught me a great deal about how to look after batteries and the technology, such as it is, that "powers" them (sorry!). So, to the subject of this review, the Ring RSC612/REC 612 SmartCharge with Battery Analyser. The first thing you notice after unpacking it is the weight. It's a sturdy beast, with a great rubberised "fender" around it, ideal for gripping it with oily rubber gloves (oh, come on, you are wearing gloves when working on cars aren't you?), so that's bonus points right there! Secondly, you notice that there is a sturdy, albeit plastic, foldaway hook built into the rear for hanging in the engine bay, or on the garage wall, if you are posh enough to have a garage big enough for a modern car! So, again, more bonus marks. The clamps are so sturdy and powerful that you'd better have been down the gym before using them! They are great! And very well insulated too. The mains power cable is a seperate entity from the pack, this means you can use the unit (this particular model, not the cheaper model) to test the battery and alternator on the car, very handy. My only gripe here, a small one, is the power cable is one of those ones that can be inserted in either orientation, always worries me that I've reversed the polarity, silly boy! But that's me just splitting hairs. And the LCD, packed with info! Not just a few LEDs that say nothing useful! Now, don't get me wrong, I'm poorer than a church mouse, but I have a "fleet" of older cars that all require constant maintenance, including all the batteries that go with them, hence a good charger/conditioner is an essential part of my tool arsenal. I already own one of the big-named competitors devices, no names, but lozenge-shaped? But I've become less trusting of it recently simply because on several occasions it has reported fairly new batteries as being dead or faulty. My other *huge* gripe about the lozenge-shaped competitor is that if the battery is discharged dramatically, i.e. flat, it won't recognise it and therefore won't charge it at all! Not much good then is it? In those circumstances I've had to revert to what I call my "dumb" charger, a very old un-smart charger, but it isn't powerful enough to charge flat diesel batteries. And that's where this Ring comes into its own! Sup-bloomin'-erb! I've given it a *dead* battery from a 2009 Kia Ceed CRDi 1.6 diesel car, which the "lozenge" said was dead, and the "dumb" charger wouldn't touch, but the Ring? Well, press a couple of buttons (or, if you're lazy, or in a hurry, press "Auto"), stick it on *R* for Recondition Mode and away it goes. Within 24hrs I had a battery performing as new! A 10yr old battery! But that wasn't a one-off. Oh no. I then really tested it: a 15yr old battery, again reported dead by the "lozenge" and the "dumb" charger, and in the case of the Ring I switched to "R" mode, and hey presto I have a battery that is now reporting alive and well on all the chargers, and starts the car again without any issues! To give you an idea, that battery was going to be recycled on Saturday! I'd have given away over £100 worth of battery! Okay, so by now you should be getting the impression that I'm very pleased with the Ring charger, and I am delighted, but there is one thing you need to be aware of, and someone else has mentioned it in another review: the noise! Now, I'm not talking Jumbo jet loud, don't get me wrong, but neither am I talking about laptop fan quiet. Obviously Ring have found it necessary to fit a cooling fan for the transformer, which to me is great news because heat kills transformers very quickly (no, not the Hollywood movie Transformers!), so I am hopeful that I won't have to invoke the 5yr warranty (1yr standard, and extra 4yrs only if you register online or send off the warranty card). But I think it is important to know that there is a fan in the casing and you will be aware of it. Having said that, if you are using this in a garage or workshop then you won't be bothered, but if you are using it in your bedroom then what sort of freak are you? Takes all sorts I guess! So, in summary, as long as you don't pay some of the grossly over-inflated prices people are cheekily asking, then it is *better* than the lozenge-shaped "charger" competitor. By a country mile! The ability to charge a completely flat diesel battery or to restore older batteries worth its weight in unobtainium. Trust me, I'm a doctor! Ps. I have not been paid for this review.
