[QUOTE="Powerman, post: 947169, member: 1611"] I think car chargers are a bad idea for MC batteries, too easy to cook the cells. A MC charger is cheap, and a maint mode model with high frequency is great for desulphating. I have two very little used vehicles and need to keep on top of things. Last week I needed to use my truck to haul my welder, of course it was dead. I've been meaning to charge it, but blew it off. The spare battery I charged in the garage was of course 1/2 inch too wide. I put the original on overnight on the car charger and it didn't work, I never could the cells up to voltage. I used the MC charger on High Freq overnight and it worked perfect. It's a fine line when they get close to flat. Note to self: install the Datel on the FJR. [/QUOTE]
