battery chargers

[just a number]

My battery charger is on it's last leg. any suggestions on what to look for in a replacement. or should I say what to avoid. It's only going to be used for car/ truck batteries so the 6v setting isn't needed? I need one big enough to have a decent charge time but not take up alot of space. I was thinking something around a 40/15/2/ charge rate.

I got a small one from Sears (Die Hard)

It has Battery Type Selector:
Conventional Low Maintenance
Maintenance Free Deep Cycle

Charge Rate Selector:
2A
10A
50A Engine Start

Here a couple of pics next to a 8 1/2 X 11 paper so you can tell the size.


Cost me right around 140 I think.

I have the same one in an older version. It does work well, and has lasted many, many years.

I have the big sears one on wheels. Sears actually makes good battery chargers for the money. I have used it for many years to start oil trucks heavy equipment etc. It was under 200$ IIRC

so far I found them at TSC, Canadian tire(under NASCAR nameplate) and walmart.
I was looking at 2 different ones, both are wheeled. one is model se2001 and the other is se4022. the first one is cheaper but the second one has a battery+ alternator testers.

I had a schumaker. It was a POS. I replaced it with the sears. My sears is now 10 yrsold and been WELL abused. Still works fine.

I like the Minn Kota chargers for permanent under-hood installation, to keep the batteries topped off while the truck is plugged in. They're not as fast as a big bulk charger, but they'll charge most batteries overnight. I like that you wire them up once and forget them. The chargers seem to last about a decade.
