What is your primary use for the charger? If you are going to use it for jump starting vehicles then you really need a large unit with the large price tag. If you are mainly recharging dead batteries you are probably better off with a small unit.

I very rarely use my 500 amp boost unit. It is not very practical for recharging dead batteries unless you can be there to monitor it. The one I use the most is a 2/10 amp with 50 amp boost that cycles on and off after a battery has reached full charge. I can leave it on a battery for weeks without worring about overcharging. A fully discharged battery make take a 100 hours or more to get properly recharged and a large unit is not practical for this kind of charging. I also have a 2/6 amp unit that is for either 6 or 12 volt. You could buy one of each for your $75.00.

For jump starting vehicles I find a good set of 2 gauge jumper cables to be easier to use than the large charger.

If I where you I would hold on to that $75 and save up another $25-50 so you could get one of the big ones on wheels. They have a boost setting on them which is very handy to have plus there in the long run better all the way around. I got the one I have at O'reillys auto parts store but its just 12 volts but they can also get them with both. Wal-mart also sells the same ones and maybe less $$ there
