A large assortment of chargers for car batteries makes the process of choosing a device much more difficult. To simplify the task, preference should be given to universal devices that allow you to charge any type of battery. These include the Pendant 715d charger, the main technical characteristics of which will be described in detail in this article.

Device Overview
The Charger Pendant 715d has a housing made of durable and lightweight plastic. The front panel has all the switches necessary for changing parameters, as well as a relatively large monochrome display, which displays the current output by the device.
For ventilation of the device, longitudinal holes are provided in the upper and lower parts, through which heat is effectively removed from the parts heated up during operation. To increase the cooling efficiency, a small cooler is installed inside the case, which starts to work when the device is operating in the most powerful mode.
There is a niche on the back of the device to accommodate the power cord. Thanks to this design feature, it becomes much more convenient to store and transport the memory. To prevent the cable from falling out while moving the device, the hole can be closed using a removable plastic cover with a latch.
The wires going to the battery are connected on the front panel of the device. For reliable and quick connection of conductors, a threaded connection is used, and the terminals are made in a U-shape, which allows you to connect or disconnect cables with minimal time costs.
Voltage and current are regulated by mechanical regulators located also on the front panel of the device. You can change the voltage in the range from 6 to 15 Volts, the current strength varies from 1 to 15 Amps.
To control the charging voltage and charging current, the left side of the front panel of the device has a digital display. Due to the ability to accurately determine the parameters of the storage device, you can use it to restore batteries that are very different from each other in terms of capacity.

Knowing the main technical characteristics, it is easy to determine which batteries can be used to charge the 715d Pendant.
Features of the device and for which battery is intended
The features of this model of chargers include the presence of an easily removable fuse in the charging current circuit. This element is located in the lower front of the device, therefore, in case of polarity reversal, the product should be turned over and the burned-out element should be replaced. Otherwise, the charger is not too different from similar devices.
The manufacturer recommends charging the following battery types with the Pendant 715d:
- WET;
- GEL
- AGM;
- Alkaline
The charger is equally effective for the restoration of six-volt power sources, and battery voltage of 12 volts.The capacity limit for such batteries is from 2 to 200 A / h.
How to charge a battery using the Pendant 715d
In order to exclude the possibility of a device failure, as well as a fuse blown, it is necessary to connect the Pendant 715d charger according to the following instructions:
- Without connecting the output wires to the battery, turn on the device in a 220V network.
- Turn the “Voltage” knob to set the battery charge voltage.
- Turn the “Current” knob to set the current supplied to the battery terminals.
- Connect the “crocodiles” to the battery terminal, observing the polarity.
If all the steps were performed correctly, the device will begin to charge the battery in automatic mode. During operation of the device, the display may show a lower voltage value, but there is no need to worry about this. During battery charging, this value will gradually reach the parameters set in the settings.

Good charger. Once, by mistake, I connected incorrectly, so the protection worked. Replaced the fuse and again the device in a fully operational state.
Igor. Ryazan city.
Pendant 715d acquired more than a year ago. During this time, the device has never failed. I recommend!
