I just got 2 of the Harbor Freights for 7.99 on sale last week. Will see how
they work. I also got a couple of high tech ones they sell for 29.99 but not
sure how they will work, they are a combo charger and floater.
One trend that I'm disturbed by on most of the high tech chargers is that that
will not charge a flat dead battery. I have some Odyssey brand chargers and
some
Vector chargers and they will not charge a battery that is dead. I have to pull
the 20 year old Schauer Charger on them to give them a start and the 'high
tech'
chargers can take over.

List,
Some of you might remember some time ago there was a discussion about
batteries and chargers. I made the comment about the cheap "float" charger
that Harbor Freight sells (I've seen as low as $4.99) that I have been using
for about 10 years. This months Hot Rod magazine (Oct10) has an article
about "gel cells" and on page 76 you can see what I was talking about. Some
good info on batts also.
