[Shop-talk] Battery charger

[Arvid Jedlicka]

I've had this one for a few years and like it ...

The only thing I initially found odd when I first got it was the lack of an 
on-off switch. That has turned out to be a non-issue. Hook it up to the 
battery, plug it in, set a couple of buttons to give it clue [it is a 
'smart' charger, not a 'clairvoyant' charger] as to what you want to see in 
the display [Battery %, Voltage, Alternator %], what the battery technology 
is [12v Standard, 12v AGM, 12v Gel Cell, 6v Standard] and the battery size 
[Small, Medium to Large, Engine Start].  It seems to shut the charging 
circuit off at the proper time.
