Re: Any Good Battery Chargers?
That's stretching the meaning of "installed" a bit too far, in my opinion.

Re: Any Good Battery Chargers?
Perhaps. We also did that at one point when we were using a borrowed charger and could not remove the clamps.

Re: Any Good Battery Chargers?
Throwing in my support for the 3-bank charger. Both of my teams have used them and have had no issues (of my knowledge). Very satisfied.

Re: Any Good Battery Chargers?
My team had 3 of the KoP ones and they have all started failing, however we bought the Andymark 3 battery charger and I love that thing. I've built it into a rolling cart and put all the batteries on top with the charger laying on the second shelf and it works great. It is also much faster than the KoP ones too.

We switched over to this charger last year and I would highly recommend it. It is much nicer to have just one power cord and to not have the jumble of wired with multiple single battery chargers. |

Re: Any Good Battery Chargers?
You can't beat a smart charger designed for SLA batteries with a max output current of 6 amps per output. There are a few that have five or six outputs of five amps each that work fine. Smart chargers will modify the output current throughout the charge cycle and will automatically stop the charge cycle or switch to a low trickle when fully charged.
Please remember that although the charger is only able to supply 6 amps, the battery that it is connected to has the ability to supply more than 500 amps when charged. That potential is available at any improperly insulated connections that you supply on the charger side. This is a common mistake that teams make. It is also the reason for the rule this year because burning wires have resulted in the past. |
