If power goes out, will this charger still work without interruption... in standby mode?

If the power goes out, it has to be restarted.Very annoying and one reason I do not recommend this charger.

No. That is one of the limitations of this product. It is also one of the reasons that the price is lower than chargers that will still work if the power goes out.

NO! That is my problem with this. When the power goes off and then comes back on again the charger goes into a standby mode and will not charge. We leave home for several weeks at a time. If there should be a power interruption the charger will not keep the batteries in our cars charged which defeats the purpose of the charger. There are other chargers on the market that if the power goes off and back on again they will write resume with the charge code so you're protected. Battery Tender Plus returns to charge mode after power interruption. Hope this helps.

If nothing is plugged in, the charger auto-shuts down. If a device is plugged in, the charger will power/charge the device until the charger's battery runs out. I suggest removing the device after it is 100% charged or close to fully charged.

No. As soon as you plug in the charger, your phone/stuff will do an emergency shutdown. All that happens to my stuff atleast.

I believe it would resume, because when the timer is unplugged from the outlet it 'keeps' the feeding settings for at least several days on my feeder. But, I have not tested it with a power outage.

Hi Jody,I have not had to use the charger at a completely dead start. Sorry I was not able to answer your question .

If it is plugged in to AC. Mine is not using battery backup and if the power goes off, the unit goes off.

NO. The power supply is not interrupted. If your vehicle port charges when it is off, you should be fine. But also consider that leaving it for extended times can drain your battery.

Yes once the inverter is fully charged, the DC charging system shuts off as well as during a blackout the system will automatically turn on.

Good question, it just goes into standby mode without ever turning off. Must be a better way. Sorry couldn't answer your question.

That will work. What you need is a device to give you a few minutes delay after power comes back on after a blackout. This works fine for me.

It's up to you. It does not hurt the charger to leave it plugged in. But if you want to unplug it, that's OK too. I leave mine plugged in for convenience.

I would assume so. When it is charging there is a flashing light. When it is charged, there is no flashing light and no indication the power is on.

No experience with that issue. I actually have mine plugged in to my UPS so it has never lost power.

As like anything else that doesn't have an auto shut-off, Yes, it will continue to use Power while charging at the same time!Always remember to turn it off!It will still charge, but, it'll take quite a bit longer with it on than off!I hope this clears things up for you.

As yet untested, no power outage, we have kept it charged by cranking and we have back up batteries, hope this helps...

Why would you want to? Switch off (open circuit an remove power) is the same as a power outage. Light would come on until battery dies.

Depends on what you mean by this. If the charger is supposed to be the controlling device, it will probably not draw enough current even in charging mode to switch off the controlled outlets of the strip. If you mean that a charger is one of the controlled loads, then it will be turned off whenever the controlling device turns off. For example, my controlling device is a computer. When I put that computer into sleep mode, all subsidiary loads including my monitor and a USB hub power puck also go off.
