In Reply to: Charging a battery posted by 37Chief on September 05, 2012 at 13:02:00:
Stan, About 9 months ago, I purchased a BatteryMinder,#12248, battery charger. There is a setting for 2 amp, 4 amp and 8 amp charging rate, There is also a setting for gel, flooded and AGM Batteries. BatteryMinder says the 3 different batteries have three different charging voltages. BTW, AGM batteries look like sealed batteries too.
The charger cost me a pant load. Could only buy it on amazon or ebay. It is designed for keeping batteries healthy and desulfating plates. Can't really say if it does either. To date, it hasn't brought a battery back from the dead. I use it all the time to charge the battery on dump trailer, trolling battery or what ever battery is sitting on the work bench. Rotate batteries in the winter.
You need to ask someone who has a motorhome or golf cart, like JohnT, he has both. IMHO expensive batteries need to be kept on a hi-tech trickle charger to keep them healthy. The worst thing you can do to any battery is overcharge, undercharge or let them go dead. If you invested in an expensive battery, you may want to invest in a good charger too.
