Battery chargers

[Terry M-(Moderator) 2,308]

My last two battery chargers only lasted a few years…those just stopped working. so I’m back to using my 37 year old manual charger to charge my tractor batteries.   
 

does anybody make a decent charger for home use anymore??

I have an ancient Shumacher 2/10 amp and ancient roll around NAPA 450 amp that just keep on going. I think the NAPA branded one may be made by Shumacher as well.

The knobs are off of an old gas grill

I recommend getting one that has rejuvination capability. I bought an el cheapo Stanley at Walmart probably 8 years ago. Works great for me.

I like the Viking chargers at Hobo Freight. they even go into winter maintain mode. A little pricey tho.

Scour FB MP and garage sales for an old one.

 

I still have my Craftsman from when I got my first car in 76. I use it for my E tank.

 

I did buy one of those Viking Battery jump pack thingy's from HF. Haven't needed to use it yet.

Much like Mike, both of mine are old Craftsman units. The six amp I have had for fifty years or so and the ten amp I bought at a yard sale about twenty years ago, it even has the automatic shut down when the battery is charged.
