Earlier this year there was something about an $80 something battery
charger that was being sold at Wallmart. Does anyone have the info to
pass on?
Thanks
Dave

The charger is made by Vector Mfg. The one with your approximate price
has 4 charge settings from 2-35 amps. The charger also desulphates
older batteries. It works I have one. Amazon sells it online for $75.
there are other more/less powerful ones.

As mentioned they're by Vector. Got one and found it is *extremely* RF
"noisy". Knocks out FM reception for at leat 50' around. Can only
imagine what it does on the AM or SSB bands.

It MUST be good. It's from your friends at Chinamart er, I mean,
Walmart. I can't imagine it not being top quality...

This is the model I've just used on a 2 month cruise to keep four
T105s topped off. It worked great running with a Honda i1000eu
generator less than 1 hr/day and I would highly recommend it.

For all the WallWorld bashers, Vector chargers may also be bought at
WestMarine or BoatersWorld for the usual marine markup and the charger
will come with a "-M" designation.
