Terry M-(Moderator) 2,308 #1 Posted 12 hours ago 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?? 1 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bar Nuthin 2,862 #2 Posted 12 hours ago (edited) 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 Edited 12 hours ago by Bar Nuthin 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasaytheMann 206 #3 Posted 11 hours ago I recommend getting one that has rejuvination capability. I bought an el cheapo Stanley at Walmart probably 8 years ago. Works great for me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeM 10,102 #4 Posted 6 hours ago I like the Viking chargers at Hobo Freight. they even go into winter maintain mode. A little pricey tho. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
squonk 47,532 #5 Posted 3 hours ago 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 67,808 #6 Posted 2 hours ago 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. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
