Title: My opinion on battery charging.
Post by: 87gbody on December 13, 2012, 09:37:05 PM
I will not use anything other than a fully-automatic "Microprocessor"/"Smart"/"Intelligent"/etc. charger. "Dumb" chargers usually only charge "bulk rate" and will not taper off as the battery is almost full. I have lost electrolyte in the cells using an old charger.

 Price will probably stop most people from buying anything more than a pair or 12v chargers or a single 24v charger. Above that price goes way up. It might not be as convenient as a multi-charger, but for me the fact that you can "set it and forget it" more than makes up for it.
