Re: (ET) Recommendations for modern replacements for the electronics?

Hi 
I purchased a Shauer 36 volt unit this spring.  And absolutely love it. I 
have 2 ET that I use it on.  One was not fully charging the batteries and 
I needed something new That will do the job.   And I wanted one that was 
inexpensive and Microprocessor controlled.  This does the job beautifully. 
 It is not as harsh on the initial charge, and keeps the batteries full 
all the time.   Use the attached link for more info and copy/paste the 
model into a search engine to get the best price/shipping.
