i purchased a couple of these from super cheap auto a few years ago the ones i had wouldnt charge a flat battery but it would maintain a full charge it pluged into a car cigaret lighter hole and charged the battery that way i would guess yours needs a regulator and resister to stop the charge going backwards?

I had one like you describe, worked well keeping battery topped up, until it rained while I was in hospital, came home found it had shorted out and started burning my fibreglass boat where the wires were laying, also killed my battery, water must have got into it.
