Re: Any Good Battery Chargers?

The initial price is a bit surprising, but you get 10 banks for just a little more than 6 with one Andymark sells. The charge is limited to 2 amps per bank, so it isn't fast by any means. But we are still running batteries that are several years old because they are properly maintained using this charger.



Our charger also has this, plus at 80% the green indicator blinks to let you know that it is nearly done.
$507 with shipping is not too bad. I just bought a 2A/6A/10A car battery charger that can also be used for charging FRC batteries at Walmart for about $30 + tax. The one in your link is certainly much more compact than 10 of the ones I bought.
