Re: Battery Chargers
Maybe it's overkill, but we've been using the Guest 6amp marine chargers for two seasons now. What I like about them is they are made to be mounted on a panel and are about as rugged as you can get. (They are completely sealed since they are for marine applications.) No fans, no vents to get aluminum shavings in, a green LED tells you when they are done. Microprocessor controlled. They run about $60 each on line. I also like the redundancy that if one charger dies, we still have the rest.
