I recently purchased this battery charger but I received a Stanley brand. Did anyone actually receive what is pictured (Black & Decker)?

Yes i ordered the B&D, and received the B&D model BC15B. I had a West Marine brand, identical unit except color. Both worked good, but the WEst Marine brand held the battery at EXACTLY 13.4 volts, on the charger year round when not using the boat, etc., which is where the battery should be held for its longest life. The Black and Decker would bring up to 134. but then let it trickle down over a day or so to 12.6v when it would kick on again. Not quite as good for the battery longevity, but i will keep it, just get a West Marine next time.

Will this fully charge a completely drained car battery?

Nope it will not charge a completely dead battery. Finally got an email from the tech people and was told it has to have 2.4 volts to charge. So did a test and yep when it dropped to 1.9 it quit charging. Engineers? Hooked up my 10 yr + charger and it charged up fine

Can you use it on two deep cycle batteries hooked in parallel?

From an engineer: Originally Answered: Can I connect 200ah, 100ah and 80ah batteries together in parallel and charge them? If you are talking about lead acid batteries the answer is yes. The state of charge is indicated by the terminal voltage and since they are in parallel this must be the same for each battery. So the charger will continue until all batteries are charged. Another way of looking at it is that the plates of the batteries are all basically the same and those in separate batteries are effectively just the same as a larger area of plates in a single container/battery.
