    Battery charger suggestions

    Looking to get a battery charger for occasional use on dead car batteries. There’s like ten million out there so anyone have one they think is particularly good?

    Jerry Jordan was using one like this and I liked it enough that I bought one and it has worked great for a lot of years now. Not saying there aren't better ones, but it works good. I think they were sold at Walmart.

    I've had a few of these things and they've been great. Only reason I've had a few is I keep running them over. https://www.walmart.com/ip/Battery-T...hoCOTwQAvD_BwE

    Any of this line or Battery Minder are top notch. I used these to maintain the batteries on the boat for years.

    Thanks for the suggestions. Yeah I’ve got a bunch of those battery tenders for all the various vehicles. I’m looking for something that can get much more amps going like the one James mentioned. That one looks decent.

    I should have snagged Jerry's charger. Maybe then I wouldn't have rolled up to the Hallett final with a dead battery and, unbeknownst to me, a dead alternator. I did get this little gem to bring back dead batt uperies, I thought that's what you were more alluding to in your original post.

    I also have the Schumacher Electric one that Jerry has (from James' link) and like it too.

    As James and Marshall said the one I have is very fast and is small and I bet it does not weigh over two or three lbs.
