That would appear to be last years model. I had that one for about a year or slightly more and used it quite often to recharge the deepcycle trolling motor battery along with others in the shop both large and small. When I first started using one I thought it was broken, or had something in the fan when I first started using it, as it would let out a buzzing sound sometimes. I came to the conclusion it was the battery self test and diagnostics of the "smart charger" just doing it's thing. Worked very well. One of the battery clamps broke and for 6 months or more had to be aided with the help of a "c" clamp. I finnaly got around to returning it to Wally World (walmart) and found it had been replaced with a newer version. The newer version has better clamps, but it doesn't stop running like the last one. Once plugged in and started, the fan will continue to run. Normal as I was told after contacting the manufacturer. Yes it goes to float (at least as it says on the new version's readout). All in all a good charger with a lot of smarts. It will stop and run through some battery design and size tests during the charging process. I still keep a couple older style automatic chargers around because these new smart chargers will not even try to charge a dead battery.
