It works well, but could be easier to use

This product does a good job of maintaining batteries. I question it's ability to save deeply discharged batteries. They claim "Saves low voltage sulfated batteries. Starts Charging from 1 V." In my experience, if the battery is deeply discharged the charger will detect it as a 6v battery (even if it's a 12v battery), and will only charge it to 6v. There is a way to override this, but it requires a trip to the owner's manual to determine how to force it into 12v mode. Even then, the battery will not fully recover it's full capacity. This device would be more useful if it was easier to set it for 6v or 12v (the "smart" setting it currently has will get it wrong if the battery is below 6 volts).
