Bought cool new digital charger....$89? WalMart?!!
One of my WalMart tires had another nail in it so I made the mistake
of returning it under my road hazard warranty for another free, no-hassle replacement at WalMart, today. It cost me over $100 to replace the tire which cost me $0.00 labor and tire. WalMart is slick marketing. You can't help but look around while waiting....(c; WalMart is handling a new line of Vector switching, microprocessor-controlled "Smart" battery chargers. I had to buy the biggest one, of course. It's a manly charger...(c; AR! AR! The model is VEC1093A. http://www.battery-rechargeable-char...y-charger.html 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. This charger uses a 100A switching power supply controlled by a job-specific microprocessor. Click on the downloadable owner's manual on the page to see how it works. It will charge a wide variety of batteries from 2, 10, 20 and 40 amps and provide 100A of starting current to get an engine moving WHEN THE COMPUTER SAYS YOU CAN. Here in the shop, tonight, it's in its desufinating mode pulsing and discharging my deep cycle trollilng motor battery for the free dingy's auxiliary thruster. This mode is supposed to clean off and recover the surface lead sulphate that didn't get recovered during the regular charge cycle. The charger is VERY light, being a switcher, not an analog with a huge transformer. It doesn't have any transformer at all, at least not a clunky 60Hz one. It has the SAME 3-stage constant current, then tapering current constant voltage, then floating voltage technology your favorite Waste Marine store wants $800 for with the yacht club flag sticker on it. I think this thing has better metering at $89. You can buy a SEPARATE charger for EACH battery bank at this price! Its only drawback as a "boat charger" I see is it shuts off after the charging cycle is complete, going to sleep until you press the button again. But, for $720, I could click that ON button a LOT of times on THIS 40 amp fancy house battery charger, couldn't you? Go take a look. Cool technology at a VERY reasonable price..... I should have stayed out in the cold rain behind the tire shop....(c; http://www.battery-rechargeable-char...y-charger.html Larry W4CSC Is it just me or did the US and UK just capture 1/3 of the world's sweetest oil supply?

I Looked at the owners manual from their website. Looking at the
Performance Features, it's very impressive. Especially the Recondition mode. Got an old battery to test that feature? 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. -JimL Larry W4CSC wrote: One of my WalMart tires had another nail in it so I made the mistake of returning it under my road hazard warranty for another free, no-hassle replacement at WalMart, today.

That looks like a pretty nice battery charger! However it is not very
detailed as to what the three stages really are. They seem to indicate that the last stage is a float mode but the unit turns off soon after entering that third stage. If it was really a float mode I would think that they would keep it on. Now, you have to buy the "battery life saver". This thing looks like some new magic that is akin to the magnetic fuel conditioning device.

Harry reported that he owned Global Crossing and turned a nice profit a year before news of the Global Crossing scandal broke. In February 2002, Harry wrote: "Speculation futures? Is that on the NASDAQ? Sorry, Markie, but the last speculative investment I made (and got out of a year ago) wasn't in commodities. It was the now notorious Global Crossing." In March, 2003, the NY Times wrote: "In the late 90s, Ullico was able to buy Global Crossing stock at its initial public offering (IPO) price. By 1999, a $7.6 million investment had mushroomed to $335 million. After pricing its own stock at a set $25 per share, Ullico directors changed the rules, setting a new price at the beginning of each year. Global Crossing spiraled toward bankruptcy, and Ullico's stock took a tumble, the Ullico directors who had bought their stock at $54 a share were given two opportunities to sell it back, the first time for $146 a share, the second time for $75. As Georgine and the other Ullico officials made $6.7 million in profits, the union pension funds that own Ullico could not take advantage of the same deal." ---------------------------------------------------- Harry was working for ULLICO and using insider info to make a profit, while those with money in the union pension funds got screwed. |

I mentioned the warranty as I wasn't familiar with Vector
but did happen to notice that on the last page. Personally, I *NEVER* send in warranty cards. Well, lo and behold, this past fall I managed to fry my Schumacher 2/15/100 charger by jump starting a mower and when one battery clip popped off and made contact with the other while in 100 amp mode, the charger mysteriously stopped working. :^) I called Schumacher, told them I had bought it a year before and didn't hide the fact of what happened. They told me to send it in. No questions asked, not even proof of purchase for when I bought it. I did and they fixed it. I don't remember if there was a warranty card to even send in as I noted above, I wouldn't have sent it anyway. I'll reconsider in the future. :^) -JimL Larry W4CSC wrote: removed Yes, already sent...(c; Noticed they have no online registration.

It can't be any noisier than that damned dual 10A Guest under the aft cabin bunk in Lionheart. It's 20 over S9 across the HF bands on the M802/AT140/backstay. Damned thing makes more noise than an electric drill and VERY wideband! Larry W4CSC 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?!! |
Bought cool new digital charger....$89? WalMart?!!

Mine's reconditioning the 6-year-old diesel starting battery in my restored 1973 Mercedes 220D antique car, tonight. I'll check it, when I can.

One problem with that charger, cool as the switching technology is, the
warning that you can't charge a dead battery with it, which means that you still need another charger to get it up to the minimum required level for this charger to start working. |

You don't run them down until their voltage is less than 5 volts, do you?!! Normal discharge is 50% of capacity.....unless you can afford the monthly replacement costs, I suppose.

Larry's comment is definitely the funniest one I've read today. However, I didn't realize how funny it was until I saw that Harry took it seriously. |
