Default $89 WalMart charger

Political consciousness aside (the whole issue of wages paid to third world
economies is too complicated to be discussed here), the lack of an
adjustable maximum voltage (14.1 for gels) means I can't use it.

Gang,
Let's get back to the basics regarding this charger

1. Can it be used for gel cells?
2. What is the maximum amp hour sized back it can accommodate?
3. If it cannot be permanently installed without getting us in trouble

with
our insurers, can it be safely used as a "portable" unit?


I emailed the company and asked about AGM batteries, and was told it
could be used with them, because AGM was just another form of lead-acid.

I was also informed the charger, as I suspected, was manufactured in the
People's Republic of China.

That fact alone removes it from consideration for me. I don't knowingly
buy products made in slave labor or slave wage countries.
