  1. No incident, no one hurt

    Made May 6, 2025, sent to the company Jun 23, 2025, published by CPSC Jul 8, 2025

    The product, in the report: Duralast 10 amp battery charger / maintainer sold at Autozone. Its dark grey, black, red, and blue with white lettering. It sells for $80 dollars.

    Autozone is selling a 1O amp car battery charger / maintainer that is potentially a fire bomb that can kill homeowners or at the very least catch their cars on fire. When plugging this device in it starts in lithium battery charging mode automatically, and you have to hit the mode button to switch it to lead acid battery charging mode. When its done charging it goes into float mode as a battery maintainer. If the power goes out in your neighborhood, and then turns back on, it automatically starts charging your lead acid battery in lithium charging mode. Lithium charging lead acid batteries can cause lead acid batteries to explode, catching your car and home on fire thus killing people while they are asleep. Please pull this product from the shelves, as it is false advertising, and extremely deadly. I noticed this products defect when my homes power went out briefly on 05 / 02 / 2025. Its a Duralast 10 amp battery charger / maintainer made in Vietnam by an LLC in Florida. Its on the product shelves as I type, and the Autozone employee didnt care at all about my warning of the products dangers. Its an $80 rip off, and dangerous.
