What does Harry say about this? I've only seen KSmith's streams of vomit,
which I have no patience for.

The on-line manual states that marine batteries must be REMOVED for
charging. Obviously this unit is not intended to be installed aboard a
boat.

BTW, the reason we are not keeping Iraq's oil is that the USA and the
UK are honourable nations and are not going around the world stealing
things that look interesting.

Why not take that kinda stuff to alt.sailing.asa. They eat it up over there.
This NG on the other hand is about cruising on vessels, not ranting and

My humble apologies to r.b.c. I thought, wrongly, the little charger
might be of interest to small boaters as well as cruisers......

This is my fault and it won't happen again. Like a goddamned bunch of

Is it just me or did the US and UK just capture 1/3
of the world's sweetest oil supply? What idiot wants to
GIVE IT BACK?!!

The carefully worded manual says it is to rejuvie working batteries,
not raise the dead. I reconditioned an old trolling motor battery
last night and all day today, but I've been in Orangeburg, SC, all day
trying to save my father's home from the terrible ice storm which just
tore Orangeburg apart Monday. Worst ice storm we've had since the
1970's! So, I haven't had time to test the AH rating of the trolling
motor battery.

Tonight, I'm reconditioning the 330AH golf cart house batteries in my
stepvan electronics shop. They're good batteries, too, but this is
probably good for them. They go through hell when I jerk 60ADC out of
them to power a loud music system at some outdoor party. I'm sure
they could use it.

Don't forget to send that warranty card in! I noticed that it
has a five year warranty *IF* you send in the warranty card within
10 days of purchase.

Yes, already sent...(c; Noticed they have no online registration. I
also sent them my OPT-OUT warning with the card, properly encoded data
so I can tell if they sell my information to outside parties, the
usual reason they are so adamant these days about having your personal
information....so they can sell it to the spammers.

You're wrong on all three counts.

Of course as one who has a relationship with this company, who is the
spokesperson for them, you are to be believed? Kind of like we should
believe what President Bush's aides say.

Yea, right.

WalMart has it discounted to $89 and change from its $110 retail.
Walmart also makes refunds and returns just too easy, any port in the
country.

Sounds like a great leap forward in technology if it really will do the
same job as a "$800 West Marine smart charger." FWIW I bought a
UL-marine rated 40 amp 3 output smart charger for about half that, but
it's still a lot more than this Wal-Mart charger.

The only problems I see
1- you can't put 480 watts through a box much smaller & lighter than the
West Marine kind, something's gotta give.
One side of the case, that yellow part in the picture, is one giant
aluminum heat sink. Then, there is a large blower fan that comes on
with the charger and remains on throughout the cycles. At 40A it's
cool. I'm monitoring its output with a series shunt feeding my
o'scope to watch it work. Its output will be VERY equipment friendly!
It's PURE DC not the usual half or full wave pulses of the powerline.

2- it is apparently not UL-marine rated, which might void your insurance
policy
Interesting point.....

3- if it shuts itself off after every charge, then you could still go
aboard your boat to find a dead battery
Yes, I wouldn't recommend it replace the boat charger. I've emailed
Vector to ask about a marine version that's mountable and continuously
operating without the complete shutdown feature.

The diagnostics look pretty cool. I wonder if there is any way to over
ride the 'Battery Voltage Too Low' fault.
If the battery voltage ever gets THAT low, the whole battery bank is
TOAST. It's a charger, not a wizard....(c;
