Re: [ST] Battery Chargers

[" Kevin Dicks" <rawsonboy@xxxxxxxxx>]

I just picked one of these up
http://www.riderstation.com/catalog/proddetail.php?prod=DCHG.  It seems a
very nice unit - nice wall bracket so you it stays out the way.  Nice solid
feel to it and it came with 2 very heavy duty tie-down straps that I was
looking to buy anyway so that was a bonus.

They say this unit is the highest-selling battery-tender type unit over the
pond - maybe some Brit listers can chime in.

So far....thumbs up.

Subject: [ST] Battery Chargers


This is a general question on charging batteries.

Since I have an m/c, a riding mower, etc.  all with various batteries I'd
hate to get a bunch of different chargers.  I was in a m/c shop looking at
"The Battery Tender" and they had two sizes .75A wall mount and a 1.5A
larger one.  Both say they are good for m/c, mower, & car batteries.

My question is: Should which one should I get for the car battery?  Is .75A
enough or should I get the 1.5A?  If I get the 1.5A, is that too much
current for a small m/c battery or enough for a large car battery?  I'd have
to toast the battery with too much current.

I'd prefer to buy something I can use across the board rather than just one
specific battery.  Does the collective have a suggestion?
