Default Batteries

Scout needs to maintain 2 group 27 batteries over the winter. You geniuses would
have him spend $800 for that? The Shumacher charger at Walmart will do what he
needs for under $50, and do it very well. He can spend the other $750 building
an exact replica of your house.


Newmar has several sizes of chargers. They are used widely in the
oilfiled, and yachting industry. Scout could get a 10 amp 2 bank for
around 250 from Newmar. It is compact, will still look and work like
new in 10 yrs. The Wally world special will have shorted, ate up his
propshaft and zincs with electrolysis and look like a block of rust in
3 yrs, not to mention all the sparks in the engine space if it's not
hard wired..which the mfg does not suggest or he would not have put
TEMPORY clips on the charging leads.
