[Tigers] Batteries

[Sandy Ganz]

I just got 2 of the  Harbor Freights for 7.99 on sale last week. Will see how 
they work. I also got a couple of high tech ones they sell for 29.99 but not 
sure how they will work, they are a combo charger and floater. 


One trend that I'm disturbed by on most of the high tech chargers is that that 
will not charge a flat dead battery. I have some Odyssey brand chargers and some 
Vector chargers and they will not charge a battery that is dead. I have to pull 
the 20 year old Schauer Charger on them to give them a start and the 'high tech' 
chargers can take over.

List,

Some of you might remember some time ago there was a discussion about
batteries and chargers.  I made the comment about the cheap "float" charger
that Harbor Freight sells (I've seen as low as $4.99) that I have been using
for about 10 years.  This months Hot Rod magazine (Oct10) has an article
about "gel cells" and on page 76 you can see what I was talking about.  Some
good info on batts also.
