Re: New Battery Charger

Looking back at the year, several times I found at the competitions that our 2008 Schumacher battery charger was charging on 2amps and it needed to be set on 6 amps. The chaos of the competition makes me want to modify the new charger so we do not have to adjust the charge when it is connected to a battery but leave it on 6 by default. We often pull the charger off and check the voltage to take the "best one" to a match. When reconnecting the batteries then the charge amps were not readjusted. Anyone have similar experience and any idea on how to hack the controls as to bypass the 2,4,6 amp charge button?
