- =v= If the product you describe is what I think it is, there
- is indeed no way it could charge a 12 volt car battery. But
- the product I've seen touted itself as a device to keep a
- battery from discharging, say, when left standing for long
- periods of time.
-
- =v= If this same product is being marketed as a battery
- charger, that's clearly fraudulent.
