Re: Be aware of battery and charger inconsistencies!

Thought I might ask here,

We are currently using the Schumacher SSC-1000a 2/6/10amp charger.
It does support motorcycle/tractor/jetski batteries, which the FRC battery seems to resemble.

The amount of charge has to be selected after the battery is attached. We only use the 6a mode during competition and the 2a mode for overnight trickle charge / maintenance.

We are going to order a few more to bring to our regional competition. Is this charger NOT going to be allowed?

Here is a link to the charger information.

Aloha,
Mr. H
