I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this battery charger made in Sweden. It is well made and was easy to set up. I felt quite safe using it and it worked as expected. The only disappointment was the fact the optional 'comfort adapter' eyelets wouldn't fit the battery terminal screws in my car. I have since learnt that there are several comfort adapter sizes available but just the one was included in this kit. Presumably it is the most common size. I am thinking of drilling or filing the eyelet holes to make them fit as the size difference seems minimal. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this battery charger made in Sweden.
