Title: Electric Outlet Timer
Post by: Gatheringtree on January 27, 2021, 12:26:38 PM
I keep forgetting to unplug my battery charger!   So I want to buy an electrical outlet countdown timer.  There are plenty on Amazon, but with mixed reviews. Does anyone have a brand recommendation?

This is the one I've been using. It has worked fine for me.

Oh I had not noticed that one. It's cool that you can set it with your iPhone.

I will have two ebikes (Radrover4 and RadCity Step-Thru 3) so will be charging at the same time.  I put this one in my cart:

I cringed everytime I would go a day and realize that I did not unplug the bike charger! I think this will solve that problem.

I was thinking about getting one of these too but how would you know for how long to set it for?

I use a smart plug plugged into a power strip to charge my fleet.  They have a countdown function.

Which smart plug do you use and is it compatible with Google home?
