Re: (ET) charger, desulfator

- Battery Chargers
    Soneil chargers are mentioned and used quite a bit.  A while ago 
someone described the Japlar-Schauer charger and I bought one and use it 
with an SB-50 plug (small version of an electric fork lift plug for quick 
disconnect available at forklift/Industrial stores) and it works well for 
my tractors.  That way I don't haul the charger around either.

Jeff,
        It looks like the Soneil 3610SR is a little over $200 (on amazon, 
the only place I could find it).
http://www.amazon.com/Soneil-4-5A-Battery-Charger-connector/dp/B0001M0TIU/ref=sr_1_3?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1400774976&sr=1-3&keywords=soneil+36v
        Is that the one you're referring to?
        Any reason for preferring that one over the Battery Minder?
http://www.amazon.com/BatteryMINDer-Charger-Maintainer-Desulfater-Systems/dp/B002ZTJ75I/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1400775375&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=battery+minder+36v
        The battery minder is lower amperage (2.7 amps), but since my 
intent was the same as yours - charge most of the way with the stock GE 
charger, then switch to a lower power desulfating one - I wouldn't think 
that would make much difference.
