So is it really a smart charger?

Well, I don't know, but it seems to me like the problem is the opposite. I.e. it turns itself off when one battery is charged, but there are three that are not.

I'm not sure, but it us the slowest charger.It takes hours and hours. It isn't worth it.

Yes this is a great charger for what you are wanting to do. You can not go wrong buying this it is a smart charger.

Appears genuine to me. Keep in mind this is the low-power version of the chargers.

Is the charger in the kit a smart charger? If you put in one empty AA and one half empty AA, is it smart enough to charge them both to full?

with a smart charger you don't need to worry about over charging it will cut off when fully charge without a smart charger no more than 3 hours , I recommend a smart charger it's fast charging and safe...

I received mine and it is exactly the same device and model number as what comes with the sweeper. There is only one red light that turns on when charging the battery and it NEVER turns off or switches to any other color to indicate the battery is fully charged. The battery and charger are warm to the touch the whole time, so my guess it is NOT a smart charger.

This is a smart charger. The difference from the other models is with it's bigger (20) amperage it takes less time to charge.

No, it is not... I bought it thinking I would be able to use it for another one I have for which I lost the charger, however I was surprised when I found that now I have to figure out a different method to charge the other one. A bit disappointed about that.

Nope. You can plug it up and it will look like it is. It acts like it's charging but dies at the same rate.

Yes it is, however I am on my second one....The first one lasted about a year and a half and then it would not charge properly.....This is the correct charger

No. The smart connector is to big. It has a yellow tip, the correct size has a green tip.

No, it is a trickle charger (compared to a "smart" charger that automatically turns off) and will overcharge. Please read the instructions, which clearly state not to leave it charging for more than 8 hours. Only charge until the light turns green, then stop. They also state to recharge immediately after use, and every 30 days if not used, to keep it topped up. Apparently they don't want you to leave it in a discharged state.The battery seems to be the weak link in these rather crappy quality lights. I would do everything I can to follow the instructions and not do anything that might damage the battery or shorten its life...

Does the charger have a red light that goes green once the mower is charged up? If it does then it's a smart charger...... It is likely that people like me have said it's a dumb charger because it looks like a standard "wall wart". Typically smart chargers are built as a block with wires coming out of both ends, not wall warts.

Most "smart" chargers will not charge a completely dead battery. They require some minimal charge to start charging. We sometimes use a set of jumper cables hooked between a good battery and the one needing charging to get the charger started, then unhook the good battery and let the charger work

I'm using my standard charger. It works and I never really considered it as a problem.

They both work , the charging circuit ( smart phone or tablet ) controls how many amps it wishes to draw. The charger does not decide how many amps to push. The only problem you would have is if you plugged in something that drew more than 2.1 amps.
