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

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.

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.

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!

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world. Founded in 1991, it was also the first online forum for people to gather and talk about their Pontiacs. Since then, it has become the mecca of Pontiac technical data and knowledge that no other place can surpass.
