Re: Good Battery Chargers

Does this charger look okay http://www.walmart.com/ip/Schumacher...arger/15140194 or is there a better one from an automotive one that I could get. Are there any rules against certain battery chargers?
Thanks,

We bought two very similar ones (ours have the same specs and type of case, but in gray) last year and have had zero trouble with them. All we did was clip the stock clips off and replace them with an Anderson connector so it mates right up with the robot batteries. We normally charge at 2A overnight and around the shop, 6A during competitions. Great deal.
