I have 3 of the cheap ones and they have been working effectively for several years on boat batteries, RV batteries and on my Corvettes when they were parked for several weeks while we were travelling with the RV.

My oldest one is more than 10 years old and the last one I bought 3 years ago. None of the 3 have failed to perform but I do plug them into a protected outlet strip when they are in use.
