Bought cool new digital charger....$89? WalMart?!!
One of my WalMart tires had another nail in it so I made the mistake
of returning it under my road hazard warranty for another free, no-hassle replacement at WalMart, today. It cost me over $100 to replace the tire which cost me $0.00 labor and tire. WalMart is slick marketing. You can't help but look around while waiting....(c; WalMart is handling a new line of Vector switching, microprocessor-controlled "Smart" battery chargers. I had to buy the biggest one, of course. It's a manly charger...(c; AR! AR! The model is VEC1093A. http://www.battery-rechargeable-char...y-charger.html WalMart has it discounted to $89 and change from its $110 retail. Walmart also makes refunds and returns just too easy, any port in the country. This charger uses a 100A switching power supply controlled by a job-specific microprocessor. Click on the downloadable owner's manual on the page to see how it works. It will charge a wide variety of batteries from 2, 10, 20 and 40 amps and provide 100A of starting current to get an engine moving WHEN THE COMPUTER SAYS YOU CAN. Here in the shop, tonight, it's in its desufinating mode pulsing and discharging my deep cycle trollilng motor battery for the free dingy's auxiliary thruster. This mode is supposed to clean off and recover the surface lead sulphate that didn't get recovered during the regular charge cycle. The charger is VERY light, being a switcher, not an analog with a huge transformer. It doesn't have any transformer at all, at least not a clunky 60Hz one. It has the SAME 3-stage constant current, then tapering current constant voltage, then floating voltage technology your favorite Waste Marine store wants $800 for with the yacht club flag sticker on it. I think this thing has better metering at $89. You can buy a SEPARATE charger for EACH battery bank at this price! Its only drawback as a "boat charger" I see is it shuts off after the charging cycle is complete, going to sleep until you press the button again. But, for $720, I could click that ON button a LOT of times on THIS 40 amp fancy house battery charger, couldn't you? Go take a look. Cool technology at a VERY reasonable price..... I should have stayed out in the cold rain behind the tire shop....(c; http://www.battery-rechargeable-char...y-charger.html Larry W4CSC Is it just me or did the US and UK just capture 1/3 of the world's sweetest oil supply? What idiot wants to GIVE IT BACK?!! |

I Looked at the owners manual from their website. Looking at the
Performance Features, it's very impressive. Especially the Recondition mode. Got an old battery to test that feature? Don't forget to send that warranty card in! I noticed that it has a five year warranty *IF* you send in the warranty card within 10 days of purchase. -JimL Larry W4CSC wrote: One of my WalMart tires had another nail in it so I made the mistake of returning it under my road hazard warranty for another free, no-hassle replacement at WalMart, today.

Your trolling is not working anymore, this must be very upsetting to you. Why bother addressing your posts, they are not based on fact and you have freely admitted you are only here to shill for the party, and screw with us? Later troll... |

That looks like a pretty nice battery charger! However it is not very
detailed as to what the three stages really are. They seem to indicate that the last stage is a float mode but the unit turns off soon after entering that third stage. If it was really a float mode I would think that they would keep it on. Now, you have to buy the "battery life saver". This thing looks like some new magic that is akin to the magnetic fuel conditioning device.
