Fits my needs perfectly for one unit to function as both a GPU for avionics database uploading and other tasks and a battery charger/minder/maintainer that is well regulated to the charging environment (including things like temperature compensation, desulfinating, etc. The side storage chambers are perfect for the various cables.

Durability5 / 5Reliability5 / 5Performance5 / 5Ease Of Use5 / 5Value5 / 5Would You Recommend?YesGreat GPU and keeps the battery topped offLove the GPU. We use it with our kelly aerospace air conditioner to pre-cool the plane before starting the engine. We also love having it to mind the battery to give it a longer life and avoid any draining. We are based out of Houston, TX so this thing is put to work a lot and has never let us down.- Was this review helpful? Yes (1) No (0)

Will it work for a Premier 1 or Citation Mustang?BEST ANSWER: Yes it will. It uses a standard navy ground power receptacle which is on almost all aircraft. That said, it does not have the amperage required to start so its only for things like A/C, avionics, etc...- Reply
