This one? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01ERZ0CC4...language=en_US

Funny it says "aviation calibrated" right on the unit, but in the description it says "Not for aviation use" - WTF????

I’ve been using mine for 9 years now. I’m almost certain mine was for “aviation use” and specifically the Gill brand battery that I’ve been using forever. I’ve had good service with them so never felt the need to change…😊

I like it! What settings do you use for maintenance mode?

Been using this.

I have a flooded cell battery.

However on my 182 have AGM battery and the $9 harbor freight job has maintained it for years without problem. To say, I have my doubts about these “aviation specific “ maintainers.

It's a liability thing .Scared of being sued . I went to buy seal . As soon as I said it was for an airplane they told me company policy was not to sell it due to Liability If it failed and caused an accident they could be sued
