I have the Schumacher Battery Charger also, and love it.
[I have an old Black & Decker 12v drill that I can't get a good charge out of the original charger.] I determined the + & - terminals on the 12v battery and connected my Schumacher Battery Charger to it. It charges it up to full in about 45min and lasts for days. I just quit using the old B&D charger altogether.

Donovan,

I am electrically challenged and have no idea how it works.

I just bought a Schumacher Battery Charger from Wal-Mart based on Arthur
Brown's (Lindale, TX) recommendation. He noted that it has a setting that
would recover sulfated batteries that worked.

It's only $29.95.

They have more powerful versions if you're willing to invest more. I do not
know if they have the sulfate recovery feature.

Regards,
Rob M.

Any of you fellas know how a car battery charger works?  The one ive used
for years just stopped.  it hums, but no power gets to the leads and the
needle just barely bounces when i plug it in to power, but no reaction when
i connect the leads to the battery.


anyone have any ideas?  guess ill get a new one, but this has my curiosity
up.
