Re: Best place to buy batteries and a charger?

AGM batteries tend to lose capacity at high charge rates. For our radio group the rule of thumb is do not charge at higher then 1/3 the rated amp hours of the battery. A 6 amp charger is close enough to 5.67 amps to work fine.


Most important if you purchase batteries get fresh ones. You can have the date codes checked and avoid old ones.
