Re: Rookie Team Shopping List

For battery chargers we don't use the Andymark ones because we find they are too expensive.

For a long time we have been using these chargers, they are similar to the kit of parts chargers but a little smaller and normally a bit cheaper. We've bought them for as low as $23.

This summer we purchased one of these that can trickle charge up to four batteries at a time with an adapter. We've been using it in our shop and haven't had any problems yet. We'll be doing some testing soon.
