Re: (ET) charger, desulfator
Walter,
The Schauer one doesn't seem to have a desulfating function - is
that correct?
What about the Soneil 3606 SR?
http://soneil.com/Completesets/3606SR%20Charger%20specs%20with%20charging%20curve%20072810.pdf
It's a lower power one (3 amps), but for around $100, with
desulfating, etc.. For my purposes I don't think a lower power output is a
huge deal, since my intent would be to use the stock charger for charging
most of the way, then switching to a lower power charger for topping off
and maintenance/desulfation.
Also - it seems like the accessory port would be the easiest way
to connect another charger. Does that seem reasonable? If so - where can a
person get connectors that fit the accessory port? (I could make my own
cable if I can just get a connector that fits)
Thanks!
Mike

- 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).

Is that the one you're referring to?
Any reason for preferring that one over the Battery Minder?

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.
