Want a decent battery charger
 

Ok this seems to be an easy enough request but after buying 2 Wally wolrd Shumacher Battry chargers that died in short order Im a little more than disappointed. I have a big Sears unit loaned to me from a friend and its badged DIE HARD fully automatic BLAH BLAH and would mind havind one except the reviews are mixed leading me to believe that this isnt a dependable unit and priced at 218.00 dollars. Anyone have a suggestion as to what has worked well for them as we use our chargers frequently in our business as something is dead almost daily. Thats upfront

I got the smaller die hard from had it about 4yrs works great for me, I think it was around $50-60.

Old business associate has an independent battery store. He says he is always looking for old ones at yard sales b/c they are so much better than new. I have an old Allstate (Sears) from the 60s that works great.

EXACTLY THIS! I have had a Sears small model for nearly 13 years and it has taken a beating. 6-12volt / Normal-Deep Cycle-START charge / 2 - 10 amp. I bought this one since it can charge my motorcycle battery (2amp) and the car batteries. Its a nice and simple unit that works great.

Well, I bought a small one from W-mart. Darn thing won't charge a battery that is below 6 volts. Piece of crap in my book, I'll be looking for a better one as well.

HOLY SMOKES!!!! What a screaming deal!

I would be hesitant to buy another small one as stated, I have a small automatic one and I'm not a happy camper.

Being that I have never had a problem what went wrong with yours?

It wouldn't charge the battery if it was below 6 volts. But this is the one from W-Mart. I will try to take the thing back and go with another brand. What I would really like to find is a bigger one at an estate sale!
