Re: Battery Charger Restrictions

The charge rate issue has been covered in other threads with a post here on the max rates.

The Schumacher looks like a nice charger but the middle and high charge rates are not good for these batteries. At best it will shorten the life and worst cause a catastrophic failure and either way that is a lot of money burnt up in batteries.
