My 15 year old Nautilus Gold portable charger finally bit the dust(cords became damaged beyond repair. I am in need of a 'general' charger for my wet cell jon boat battery(I have onboard chargers in my other boats), and also to charge a car or atv battery if needed. I will probably switch to AGM in the jon next year.
I picked up a Schumacher 75w(their top charger with a stated 75a car start feature) from Walmart and connected it to my battery that I had charged a month ago and disconnected. I came home from fishing after 6 hours on the 20 amp setting, and the battery was boiling like crazy and the readout said 95%. I took the charger back this morning.
Can you recommend a good portable charger that is reliable? I guess I don't really 'need' the vehicle start feature, though I'd likely need to get one of the emergency packs. |
