Dennis:
It seems reasonable that no-one would knowingly buy products built by slave
labor. But I challenge your assumption that they ARE slave built just
because they are built in the Middle Kingdom. Without meaning to do so,
you've projected racism rather than someone with an economic conscience.
There many legitimate business in China, staffed by folks who finally earn
more money than ever.

If these chargers are indeed built by "slaves"of the Communist jail system,
we should indeed boycott them. But we still don't know that.
As for me, I refuse to shop at SprawlMart for entirely different, irrational
reasons: They simply exploit American labor. (~: That said, I bet there's
a good source for these chargers elsewhere.

Let's find out cause I need one too.

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.
