NEED A PORTABLE EV CHARGER? CHECK OUT THE 32 AMP BATTERY TENDER DUAL VOLTAGE EVSE

EV Channels Review

The Battery Tender 32 Amp Dual Voltage EVSE presents a mixed bag for consumers seeking a portable charging solution. While the unit itself performs admirably, passing rigorous cold weather, extreme heat, and water intrusion tests, its accompanying accessories and pricing raise concerns. The cable pliability is exceptional, a standout feature for cold-weather use. However, the mounting cradle and connector holster are criticized for poor design, difficult installation, and low-quality materials, with the reviewer experiencing significant issues with a stripped screw on the cradle and a difficult-to-use holster. The 120V amperage adjustment also showed discrepancies, delivering less power than indicated at certain settings. Despite these drawbacks, the unit's core charging functionality, dual-voltage capability, and included 120V adapter are positives. Ultimately, the reviewer suggests that if used purely as a portable charger, its accessory flaws might be overlooked, but for daily use, these issues detract significantly from its value, especially given its premium price point.
