Re: Battery Chargers
I recall 2815 using Schumacher chargers we bought from Walmart (but I've seen the same design with several other manufacturers' labels on them). They were about $25 each; we cut the leads and added an Anderson connector; they've held up fine for two seasons now.
(Fun fact: Once, we had a car with a dead battery at the shop. We took a spare Anderson connector, then connected jumper cables to the bare leads, then hooked THAT to the battery. Sure enough, car started.)
